290847 - Manual poll should reset automatic poll timer

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414

If I click "Check mail now" I don't expect the applicaiton to check
2 seconds later when the (apparently non-configurable, but that's another story)
timer kicks off a check.

For an example of why someone might care: this is particularly troublesome when
dealing with a misconfigured mail server over SSL where the certificate name
does not match the hostname.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Changing severity to Enhancement.

You can change the timer. Go to Edit, Mail+News Account Settings, the account
you want to change, Server Settings and change the 'Check for new messages every
XX minutes' setting.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

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
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
