Linux (2000-02-04-08 M14)
Win (2000-02-04-10 M14)
Mac (2000-02-04-10 M14)
Steps:
1. Launch Messenger using -mail option
2. From the Edit menu, select Account Setup
3. Select Server from my account, "Automatically download any new messages" has
been checked.
4. Send myself a new message, 

Actual result: New message does not automatically display in the thread pane. I
have to click on the Get Msg to make it to appear.

Expected result: Like Nova, it should be automatically displayed. I should not
have to click on the New Msg button.

This problem is in all 3 platforms in POP.

In Imap: "Automatically download any new messages" checkbox does not exists in
Account Setup.  It is expected to auto. download new messages though.

I should mention that I have biff unchecked.  Hmmm! Does auto. download
associate with biff.  I need further investigation..

Yes, autodownload has to do with biff interval.  Scott - yours?  Or is this a 
prefs problem?

First of all you have to have biff on.  Second, it doesn't work for pop - I'm 
pretty sure I have another bug on this already.  Imap should work.
