Mozilla Mail hangs some time when checking for new mails and then writes there are no new messages on the server. However with another emailprogram the messages may be could be received. Also when the computer is restarted Mozilla Mail gets the new messages. I use SSL to get the new Messages. Even restarting Mozilla Mail sometimes doent help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Retrieve Messages 2. Suspend to Ram 3. Wake up 4. Retrieve Messages Actual Results: no new messages coud be fetched Expected Results: maybe cut the old connection to the pop3 server and establish a new one
I have experienced the same problem on Linux without using SSL on both 1.3 and 1.4. Please see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213581 which may be related. I have been keeping nspr logs for some time to help isolate the problem. I recently reviewed the logs and found that the client stops asking the pop server for mail. A grep of "SEND: USER" shows the following pattern for multiple mail accounts on the same POP server. The log is taken from 1.3 but I have had the same problem on 1.4 (I didn't recognize it at the time and didn't keep the log - sorry). Many repetions of: 1081478944[806e250]: SEND: USER primary.userid 1081478944[806e250]: SEND: USER secondary.userid ... Followed by repeated queries for the secondary user and no queries of the primary: 1081478944[806e250]: SEND: USER secondary.userid ... BTW. Is there a way to get imestamps into the nspr log? It would be very helpful. Thanks, David
I forgot to add that this happens in normal operation without the need to suspend and resume. The open question is how long will this take. Additionally, I've noted that manually selecting Get Msgs, Get All Messages, or Get for a specific account fails to query the POP server. In all cases so far it has been the primary account that has not been queried. I installed from RPM's and my version info is as follows: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 I am also behind a firewall router appliance.
I'd almost thought this problem had vanished but it has reasserted itself. This evening I restarted Mozilla Mail and only accessed the primary email account. It has stopped responding to get message requests. I retrieved email from the secondary and now get all messages just retrieves emails from the secondary. (BTW. Both email addresses are hosted on the same server). Again, in my case I am not suspending to RAM. Any suggestions for further diagnosis? David
Still happening, see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127461 Multiple OS, Mozilla from 0.9.8 to 1.5b.
