[paul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0 (20041206)

1. "Get All New Messages" doesn't. Annoying. Specific situation:
1.1. I have an imap account and a pop account configured.
1.2. Just the imap account is handled properly.
1.3. The 2nd account, a pop account, is *not* checked.
1.4. So, to get new inbound mail from the POP account, I have to explicitly
check it, i.e. "... All ..." doesn't work as implied.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on "Get All New Messages"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Doesn't get new messages from my POP account, but does get new messages from my
IMAP account.

Expected Results:  
Should have gotten all new messages, including any for my POP account.

Both accounts are configured to check mail at startup?  (Either you have 
passwords stored, or you enter passwords at each startup.)

Are both accounts checked Every N Minutes?  If so, does *this* work for both 
accounts?


> 1.Click on "Get All New Messages"

Do you mean you simply click on the toolbar button, or do you (as is necessary) 
click the arrow on the button to show the dropdown menu and select Get All New 
Messages from that?  (Or, from the File menu, select Get All New Messages from 
the submenu?)

Oops, I meant 1.Click on the toolbar button. Mouse-over says "Get new messages",
which is *not* same as "Get All New Messages" which shows on the dropdown.

Selecting "Get All New Messages" from dropdown works just fine. Sorry for
wasting your time, this is not a bug. I'll change the bug resolution to INVALID.

Paul.
