277825 - email download is slow

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Day]

When clicking the 'get email' icon the program pauses between each email
account, thus 3 accounts take over a minute to download if there are no new
messages, (longer with messages, naturally).  However ctrl+shift+t or the
mousing menu option downloads in milliseconds.  This is an unnecessary annoyance
for the user and I can see no advantage to making the icon account access tardy.
 Can you make the icon access the same speed as ctrl+shift+t?  This effect is
entirely reproducable and repeatable.

Thanks,  Chris.

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

I am now running Thunderbird 1.0.6.  My email accounts have been reduced to three.
Shift+control+t accesses all three accounts in 11 seconds.  Clicking the 'Get
Mail' icon takes the program 1 minute and 20 seconds, (as does the program on
initial log on).  Since thunderbird can get messages as fast as Outlook Express
with ctrl+shft+t I don't see how anything else in my computer can be the problem.

Anyone any ideas?

Hi, i have the same problem with 1.5.0.8 version. I renamed the inbox file but without results. From the menu and Ctrl+Shift+T is slow to.
