561594 - Won't check for new mail at startup

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[wh6c]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: 3.0.4

I just upgraded to TB 3.0.4 from 2.x. Previously, whenever I start TB, it would prompt me for my passwords for the accounts that I selected to check for new email. Despite having that option selected in 3.0.4, it will not prompt me for my password so I have to manually click on the Inbox and then click on Get Mail. I have to do this for each account whereas before I could just type in all the passwords and then click on Get All Messages and it would load all the email to all the accounts that have new email.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just load TB and it won't ask for password to check for new mail.

Actual Results:  
Just loads and shows my Inbox for my default mail account that I had open last. Won't prompt for anything and I have to manually retrieve email for each account.

Expected Results:  
It should have shown the password prompt box for each account that I selected to check for new email. Then, I could merely click on Get Mail (All Messages from dropdown menu) and it would load all the emails for all the selected accounts that I entered passwords for.

Do you still see this issue when using version 5 or 6 (due out in a week)?
- If you no longer see the problem, please set status to RESOLVED, and set resolution to WORKSFORME. (or perhaps INVALID, if you determined the problem is not Thunderbird)
- If you still see the problem, please provide updated details, and any additional steps needed to reproduce the problem.
