What does this mean?

Was it also set up to "Check for new messages at startup" ?  Unless the account is checked once, either by that option or manually, the every-N-minute check won't be run.

You mean "verify that mail has arrived on the server"?

Since I can not see the settings for the email account I use my previous version of Mozilla to set the options on the account (share profile). I monitor the inbox via webmail or the isps homepage (comcast) and see if mail is in the inbox and seamonkey downloads it from the server.

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1pre ?
