255393 - resuming after "suspend to ram" mode, fails to check POP3 accounts every XX mn.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183645

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[portel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

If I close my laptop or stop using it for more than ?? minutes, windows puts the
laptop into "suspend to ram" mode, and after some more time, in "swap ram to
disk and sleep" mode. Micro$oft may use the terms "suspend mode" and "standby
mode", I am not sure.
When I open it (maybe several hours laters), my laptop go out of one of thoses
sleep modes , the desktop is restored, but the mail doesn't check for new mail,
neither immediately, nor every 10 mn, and I have to check manually for new
email. After some hours (and severals manual "get new messages"), the mail
starts to pool again my POP3 account for new messages every 10 mn.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put the laptop into "suspend" or "standby" mode
2. send a new mail to your POP3 account with another machine
3. get the laptop out of "sleep" mode and into "back to life" mode

Actual Results:  
no new mail fetched from the POP3 account, neither immediately, nor after more
than 10 mn (or whatever is your POP3 pooling period)

Expected Results:  
At least, resume the POP3 pooling for new mail, and if possible, "if sleep mode
duration > POP3 pooling period", then "check immediately for new mail"

this bug maybe somewhat related to bug 204702 (but is probably not a duplicate
of this one)
As far as I remember, older versions of Mozilla (1.5?) had the same problem with
Windows NT on another laptop.
