268637 - Thunderbird unable to get mail on first try (consistently)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacob Maurer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

While this bug is submitted under Windows XP, this error occurs within Linux as
well (Slackware 10.0 as well as SimplyMepis 2004).

I have two pop3 mail accounts.  When I click get mail (or choose only one
account to get mail from), Thunderbird stalls.  The status bar reports that it
is connected to my pop3 server, but will go no further.

If I click 'stop' and then get mail (or get mail from the account that I tried
at first), it will work perfectly until I shutdown Thunderbird.  I must repeat
this process each time I restart Thunderbird.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load Thunderbird
2.Click Get Mail (or select one account to get mail from)

Actual Results:  

I have two pop3 mail accounts.  When I click get mail (or choose only one
account to get mail from), Thunderbird stalls.  The status bar reports that it
is connected to my pop3 server, but will go no further.

Expected Results:  
Retrieved any new mail from the server.

I am running Thunderbird 0.9

Extensions:
Buttons! 0.4.9
FoxyTunes 0.69
Minimize to Tray 0.0.1.20041101+
Show SMTP Username 0.2.1

I have no themes installed.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
