365649 - mail not downloaded

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[John Windhorst]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060414
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.7.13 and Seamonkey 1.0.7

Two days ago I switched from Mozilla 1.7.13 to Seamonkey 1.0.7 using the
same profile.   All was fine except Seamonkey would not get any mail for
two of my accounts - it got the mail for 4 other accounts that had mail
waiting (I have 10 mail accounts).  At the 2 accounts, I never got the
"No new messages...." message - other accounts, empty ones, got that "No
new messages..." message.

Only other funny thing is after requesting mail from all accounts, that
progress bar in the lower right would not quit bouncing back and forth
till I started to read the mail.  In contrast, Mozilla would get the mail
for all accounts and the progress bar would quit.

I reinstalled Mozilla (identical profile) and it got mail from those two accounts just fine - (for over 2 days, SM had ignored 40 messages in one account and 66 in another).  Other mail accounts worked fine under both SM and Moz.

I'm running Win98SE.

Any suggestions?

I've been using Nestscape & Mozilla for years.  Tried Seamonkey last summer (1.04 & 1.05) but twice I got an error message upon system bootup (the goto Safe Mode thing and it took me many hours of recovery and reinstall to get operational again - no fun).  The errors both times caused Seamonkey to not load.  In October, I went back to Mozilla 1.7.13.  Two days ago I tried Seamonky 1.0.7 and ran into the above problem.

Delete this old bug - too long ago to be of value.
