Mozilla Mail is set to retrieve mail from my mail POP servers every 5 minutes.
But when a server error occurs, like "POP server busy", a message box is
displayed with this message and no mail retrieval is started ever after! So when
I return to my pc, I have to click the message away and manually start
retrieving my mail from the servers.
The error is only temporary, so I would like to have Mozilla continue trying to
get mail from the server
Possible solutions are:
- display errors in a separate log window.
- display every error in a separate message box (causing a probable cludge on
the desktop)
BUT IN ANY CASE: keep the mail retrieval going!
:-)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the Mail window
2.Wait until an error occurs on the POP server
3.See an error message box appear
4. Mail retrieval stops
Actual Results:
The message box is waiting for acknowledgement
Expected Results:
Keep the mail retrieval process going
