User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

If I don't check my mail immediately on opening Mozilla, sometimes the "get
messages" command button will not pull messages when I know there are messages
on the server. It will show "connected to mail.mindspring.com", but not connect.
If I close Mozilla, reopen it, then choose the email client, it will connect,
login and download my POP3 messages. Sometimes even this will not work and I
have to go to Thunderbird to get my messages, storing my received email in two
different places. 

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.click get messages
2.displays "connected to mail.mindspring.com"
3.

Reporter, do you still have the problems with current builds like 1.7RC? If not,
please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME.

Can someone set this to worksforme as suggested by ostgote, so we have a bug less!
Thanks!
