265916 - mail doesn't download at intervals after getting "moving message 1of 1 to trash"

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[stu]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I can't nail it down exactly, it's a combination of things. I get home and it
hasn't downloaded mail all day. I click get mail and sometimes it works (at
which point it will start downloading mail automatically from then on) and
sometimes I get the dreaded "this folder is in use" for each account that it
checks mail on. (feature request by the way, get rid of modal dialog box error
messages, keep them in a separate list like OE?)
If I get more info I'll post it, and as a programmer, I know how annoying it is
for a tester to come to me with vague information like this, but the one thing
I've noticed lately is when it isn't working, the status bar at the bottom says
"moving message 1 of 1 to trash." Not sure if that's just the message from my
last delete or not.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. leave thunderbird up for a while, I have 5 or so pop3 accounts I dl from
2. My w2k machine doesn't get rebooted very often, maybe every 2-3 weeks
sometimes more.
3.

Actual Results:  
mail doesn't download automatically, and sometimes gets stuck in "folder in use"
cycle. Only way to fix it is exit thunderbird and restart.

Expected Results:  
Downloaded mail automatically.
