User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 I have several IMAP accounts on the same server. My wife also has several accounts on the same server. We both connect to the internet through the same NAT firewall. However, the IMAP server only supports a single socket connection per IP address at the same time. Both my wife and I have no problems reading our e-mail via Outlook Express at the same time. The reason being is that Outlook Express does not maintain a connection, and it is unlikely we both hit send-receive at the same time. However, Mozilla Thunderbird maintains one or more connects per account. So if one of connects via Thunderbird, the other can not read e-mail via any program. Furthermore, Mozilla Thunderbird has problems because it tries to have one or more connections open per account, when only one connection total is allowed. As a workaround, for each account I changed the maximum number of connections to cache to 1, and I edited the prefs.js file to set the timeouts for the connection to 1 second. This results in enough of a time window for the other accounts to check e-mail. But it is dependant on the server responce times staying consistent. Reproducible: Always
Workaround: click on the offline icon in the lower left - that will close all your open connections immediately.
Not quite. Going offline does not deal with the fact that Mozilla tries to make one connection for each account. I would not have any notifications of new messages. It also assumes I know when to go offline. My wife normally uses the laptop... Bill
