Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[Paul D Mallett]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 6.0; U; en) Presto/2.8.131 Version/11.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Thunderbird/3.1.9

Sorry to be long winded but I assume there is a bug with the pop3 mail collection as all else has been eliminated. Manual download of pop3 is fine and messages are left on the Server InBox {usa.net provide web or pop3 access} but when the "Check Server every # minutes" option is used it apears that after collection Thunderbird moves some or all accessed messages into the {usa.net e-mail server} "Trash" despite the "Leave message on server" tick box being ticked. 
I thought my usa.net account was being hacked as when I loged on to the account I found random e-mails in the"Trash" which should not have been there and which I did not put there. After several long discussions with usa.net support I decided to change all Thunderbird "Server settings" so that only manual "Get Mail" is possibe and that seems to have stopped the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
The problem stopped when auto pop3 collection was disabled, no other IPs had accessed my pop3 server that rather points to a problem with Thunderbird "Server settings" Either or both "Check for new messages at start up" or "Check for new messages every # minutes"

Can you easily reproduce ?

If so can you capture a pop log as described at <https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging> and attach that log to the bug using the link above named add an attachment ?
