575125 - "Get Mail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 565045

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[jmpelo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; HPDTDF; .NET4.0C)
Build Identifier: 

When I click "get mail" in TB I get message "this folder is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages".  Happens every time. Have no way of knowing if there is e-mail not being downloaded or whether there is no new mail. When I send test mail to myself it eventually appears with no notice.  Everything else appears to be OK. My ISP says no problem at their end.

Reproducible: Always

jmpelo, maybe this happens only when your pc return from sleep?
What is your TB version? Maybe 3.0.4?

With the poor information that we have here, if this isn't a dupe of bug #571163 could be a dupe of bug #571163 (that is New at this moment and not duped of bug #571163)

Today I'm tired :-(

I have upgraded to the newest version of Thunderbird, and that solved the get mail problem.  But now it created another program - it shrunk the font to such a small size I can hardly read it.  And the only way to increase the font size is to use CTRL++ each time I write mail.  How can I permanently increase the font size so I don't have to go through this routine each time I write e-mail? I'd like to use a size 16 font.
