495795 - With multiple accounts, can't choose not to have mail checked less often for some

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Ness Blackbird]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.21

I have multiple accounts.  Some are set to check mail every minute.  Some I don't want to see the notifications so often, but there seems to be no way to make that work.  Setting "Check for new messages every __ minutes" appears to be ignored because other accounts are checking more often.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two accounts, one checking mail every minute, one every hour.
2. Send mail to both accounts, then do it again two minutes later.

Actual Results:  
Both accounts will have picked up both messages.

Expected Results:  
The "one hour" account should not have picked up more than one message.

Ness do you have this issue also with latest TB 3.1.x ?

This bug is a duplicate, I believe.  The problem came down to a server-side setting as I recall, because it didn't want to wait to pick up mail at all.
