After maybe 10 minutes on-line Get Mail or Send/Get fails to scan POP3 mailbox

start Thunderbird, then there is instant scanning and colection.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No special procedures, just a question of being on-line when it happens.
2. When it coours, exit to correct the program crash
3. Re-open Thunderbird, connect and no problem.

Actual Results:  
Normal service, till next time which may be within minutes or next day.

Expected Results:  
It should connect to POP3 mailbox and scan for new mail, then collect.

Brilliant product, so nice to use.
