Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010104
BuildID:    2001020608

Really 2 problems here: 1) on startup, it tries to
automatically download my mail even though it's set
in the preferences not to. Next, while doing that it crashes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Use encrypted passwords
2) Set preferences to run the mail window on startup, but
not to automatically download any messages
3) Have preferences check for mail every 1 minute interval
4) Run mozilla

Actual Results:  Mozilla starts up, mail window and all. It wrongly
begins to download messages, but instead of asking
for my master password, it just crashes with SIGSEGV.



Expected Results:  It should not even try to automatically download any messages,
but it should check to see if mail is available. It should not crash!!!

I'm on linux 2.4 (RH 7.0) ... everything works fine with other builds
like 2001010410. The past few builds have had very very slow mail
clients (i have 1000s of messages in my folders). More recently,
the mail clients had bugs where it would not display any of
my mail messages. Most recently, it displays the messages correctly but crashes
before I can do anything.
this is a duplicate, the "encrypted password crasher" bug already exists.
thanks stephend.

Reporter: mail being downloaded even though set in prefs not to is probably bug

A fix was just checked in. Prefs will now honor whether "log into this account
on startup" is checked or not.
