After launching Thunderbird, if I immediately click on 'Get Mail' the status bar
shows 'Looking up pop' then repeatedly displays an alert 'Failed to connect to
pop'. If I select an account and click on 'Get Mail' it works correctly, but if
I select 'Local Folders' and click on 'Get Mail', I again get 'Failed to connect
to pop' over and over.

Reproducible: Always

1. Open Thunderbird
2. Immediately click 'Get mail'
3.

Actual Results:  
As described in Details

Expected Results:  
Get Mail for all accounts?

I don't use Thunderbird anymore, but I downloaded a copy and am unable to reproduce this bug in Thunderbird 2.0
