Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[cead]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Mail starts to down load say 5 messages,then stops after a minute or two,
without down loading any message at all. Sometimes it will successfully download
immediately after I send and out going message.
Mostly I just have to revert to Netscape which will immediately download all
messages. 
This problem means that I will have to discontinue Thunderbird as unworkable. Sorry?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Happens about 50% of start ups.
2.Comment, I am afflicted with frequent pop-up messages and use a pop up
suppresser to prevent them showing. This may interupt the flow of the email but
if so it does not bother the Netscape? 
3.

Actual Results:  
Cannot control the nature of this "intermittent" fault

Expected Results:  
Not stop before it has down loaded any messages.

It does not crash Thunderbird, it just stops downloading without downloading
even the first or any email, The download icon on the bottom of the screen shows
initial throughput of say 5 or 11 messages, and it works for what seems a long
time, ie indicating a big file coming thru, then one or two or three minutes
later the icon goes in active without any message being received. I then go to
Netscape and the several messages come in perfectly often all of them with a
minute or two.
I sure hope you can fix this?

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

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
