Description

[Chris Jones]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050416 Fedora/1.0.3-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.3

Mail collection from POP3 server is not automatic despite account settings being
set to collect all mail every 10 minutes.

Settings for specific account are:
Check for new messages at startup - checked
Check for new messages every 10 minutes - Checked
Automatically download new messages - Checked

All other check boxes unchecked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have to manually select Get Mail button to download mail - this occurs on
each of the 3 mail accounts (POP3, IMAP, and Unix Movemail accounts).

Actual Results:  
Mail is collected when Get Mail button selected.

Expected Results:  
I would expect TBird to automatically collect mail every 10 minutes from each
server.

Which TB build are you using?

I have also had this problem. I think it has something to do with not using the
Global Inbox, as when I had a global inbox I think it may have worked.

My build is: version 1.0.2-1.3.2 (20050324) and this is running on Fedora Core 3
using kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC3.

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird version 2 is 2.0.0.16)
