261940 - IMAP mail server alert message "Mailbox is at 91% of quota" appears every few seconds

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247193

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Kevin Ginty]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)

When I connect to my organisation's mail server (iPlanet), I get an alert
message that "Mailbox is at 91% of Quota" if I am over 90%.  Normally clearing
this Alert message only has to be done occasionally, usually on changing folder
view.  In Thunderbird 0.8 the message appears repeatedly, every 2-3 seconds, and
continues even if the mail app is not in use.  This has only started since
upgrading to 0.8 from the previous version.  I uninstalled the previous version
properly first.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Thunderbird and log in to mail server
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Alert box reappears every 2-3 seconds.  I have tried connecting with Netscape
instead, and the message only appears at login or folder view change.

Expected Results:  
Only displayed the Alert message box at login, and on changing email folder view.

PC running XP service pack 2.  The mail server I am connecting to is iPlanet. 
Other mail clients don't behave in the above way, so it is something in Thunderbird.
