Reporter are you still seeing this problem in the latest nightly builds?	


    
    

    
  
Yes.

Is this still a problem in the latest nightlies?

    
    

    
  
This is still a problem with build 2001081603. I have 3 pop-accounts, all are
configured to check for mail at startup and automatically every 5 minutes, but
moz doesn't check the servers without me clicking the "get msg"-button. So,
although I enter the pw for each account at startup, no server is being checked.

    
    

    
  
Severity and Priority on this bug are too low--it's a serious pain in the neck, 
and will cause Real World Problems if you don't click "Get All New Messages" 
all day long.

It's amazing (in a sort of horrifying way) that this bug is still alive after 
so long.

    
    

    
  
This actually happened to me with 0.9.8, even with a single POP3 server. This has been going on forever. This definitely needs to be fixed. Also priority needs to be  alot higher. It definitely reduces email clients effectiveness, considerable. It is a pain that you have to check mail manually

    
    

    
  
I experience this problem too in 2002021303 on W2K.

    
    

    
  
Does this persist after bug 80296 has been fixed?

    
    

    
  
With latest build (2002030703) it works just fine.  It actualy been working for
a while with nightly builds.

    
    

    
  
I think it's working ok for me now too with latest nightly's.. not sure when it
got resolved thou.

I seem to see it too. 2002032708 on W2K. I had Moz running last night, woke up
and clicked get New Mail and got a ton of messages from a while ago. Seems to
work sometimes for me and not others.

With build 2002031104 (release .99) this bug occours when I use file->get new
messages->get all new messages. Mail is not collected from an account where
moz-mail is not storing the password.
It works ok for multiple accounts on different servers where the password is
stored.  

    
    

    
  
I'm not sure if this is the same bug. I have the Inbox of account A as the
active folder. I then send myself a message. If I click get all new messages,
the message doesn't show. If I click a different folder and then click the Inbox
folder of account A, the new message will show. I have it set to check every 3
minutes. If I do nothing, Mozilla will not check for new messages even after 3
minutes. This is on 2002040903 on W2K, but this has been happening for a while.

It occurs for me also. I have four POP accounts defined (I only use the first
two). They are set to be checked at startup and every 1 minute; they are also
set to automatically download email messages. The second one leaves it on the
server. I am testing by sending myself an email to the first two accounts.

I am in Mail&News and have checked emails from all accounts. I send an email to
account1 and account2. When I click on "Get all new messages", it only checks
and downloads the email from account1. However, if I exit Mail&News and go back,
or if I wait 1 minute for the auto-check, it downloads the email from both accounts.

Also, if I start Mail&News but I cancel the password dialog boxes, then "Get all
new messages" doesn't work at all after that. The auto-check doesn't work
either. To make it work again, I have to manually check each account and enter
my password. After that, the auto-check works but the "Get all new" still only
checks the first account. 

By the way, it doesn't matter which account is highlighted when I click "Get all
new", it always checks the first one.

I am using Mozilla 1.0 Gecko/20020530 on Windows NT 4.0 SP6a.


    
    

    
  
I have two imap-accounts. When I start moz for the first time I have no
problems, but when my computer has been in standby mode, it sometimes wont check
my imap-accounts... the problem occours on either both or none of the accounts.
The 'Get Msgs' still works, but the automatic checking wont start.

The problem has occoured on several versions of moz, right now I am using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

And this bug doesn't appear anymore.

Maybe you can close the bug.

    
    

    
  
I am original reporter and this is working for me too. (Build 2004010608)

    
    

    
  
Problems described by bug still around with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113;
4 IMAP acct on same server, 2 different POP3 accts.
New mail gotten when starting up PC/Mozilla on 1st IMAP acct.
Erratic behaviour after resurfacing from hibernation (XP).
Only Get all new messages (All accts) works reliably

    
    

    
  
This bug is occurring with Thunderbird 0.8 on Win32 with 2 POP accounts. I
experienced the same bug years ago when I last tried Thunderbird and I'm
surprised it hasn't been addressed.
