Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

I have two accounts. The one with the underscore(_) in the account name fails to 
see any mail(when there is). The popup near the system tray will say there is
mail  for this account name. Try to connect and you get nothing. I became
suspicious after a month and installed my old email client. I checked and found
I had four pieces of mail in that account. This failure is solid for me.   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Send test mail from [e-mail] to my second account ex.(john_doe @
earthlink.net)
2.Wait.
  

5. Try to retrieve mail with my reinstalled old email client and I get it. 
Actual Results:  
checked mail using the john_doe account.
there was no mail

Expected Results:  
The john_doe account should have found the test mail I sent.

The only difference in the accounting settings is the underscore in the account
name. Both accounts are in the same PC.
