User-Agent: Build Identifier: My Tbird 0.4 does not automatically check for messages. Under Tools/Account Settings/ Server Settings, I have set the Check for New Messages Option to check every 10 minutes. As far as I can tell, Tbird never checks at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Bring up Tbird 2.Let it run for awhile 3.Occasionally bring to front to see if there are new messages Actual Results: Contents of my email boxes are unchanged Expected Results: Downloaded any emails waiting on the server. I am running Tbird 0.4 on a new G4 running OSX. Thunderbird performed well for a couple of months, but is now plagued with nitpicking little problems like the one above. The "solution" is to use the Get Mail feature. But since I also have a problem with blank emails appearing when I click on any email (including those I've read) after Tbird has been unused for a short time, the best solution is to quit and restart if I actually want to see the message content.
