If you have your Message Pane colapsed (View -> Message is unchecked), the
"MailAndNews Start Page" should not be accessed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mail And News
2. Hide the Message Pane (View -> Message should be unchecked)
3. Go to Preferences -> Mail And Newsgroups
   Check "When mail launches, show the start page in the message area"
   Press "Restore default" button
4. Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies
   Select "Manual Proxy Configuration"
     HTTP Proxy: andinvalidhostname
5. Go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache
     Clear Memory Cache
     Clear Disk Cache
6. Exit Mozilla
7. Run Mozilla and go to MailAndNewsWindow


Actual Results:  Error Message: www.mozilla.org could not be found. Please check
the name and try again

Expected Results:  No Error Message

If the Message Pane is hidden there is no need to access the start page. This
will improve start up response times. If you are using an IMAP server the
message body is only retrieved when the Message Pane is shown. This is a similar
situation, so we only should retrieve the start page when the Message Pane is shown
