But Tb never reports that there are new messages automatically without the account being checked manually by pressing the "Get mail" button. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an POP account 2. Set "Check at start up" and "Check every 2 minutes" settings checked 3. Send a letter to the account Actual Results: Tb doesn't report that there are new messages Expected Results: It has to report about new messages.

How about next setting? > [ ? ] Automatically download new messages New mail alert isn't possibly displayed without this setting(if so, may be regression)

David any idea what we could check here ?

Are the messages downloaded and the issue is 'just' about the reporting not happening or are the messages not downloaded ?

"Automatically download new messages" is off. So the issue is about reporting not happening, although it works well with Tb 2.

Arkady could you try to see if it still happens with http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/ ? Here with last release it seems all work fine.

I don't see a new mail indicator on startup if I turn off "automatically download new messages" . I'm not convinced we're even talking to the server, but a pop3 protocol log would confirm that.

> Arkady could you try to see if it still happens with Doesn't work for me :(. Probably it's worth to note that I make use of master password.

I don't need to download all messages automatically, I just want to know that a new message has been arrived to my inbox. By the way that worked fine in Tb2.

if you have a master password, we're not going to make the background check for new mail prompt you for your master password. Did we do that in TB 2?

From a pop3 protocol log, it looks like we're checking for new mail, but we're just not doing the new mail notification. This is in a profile w/o a master password. But, perhaps we prompt for the master password in your case, Arkady, on startup?

Aekady : the instrcutions to get a protocol log are written at https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging , if it's not clear just ask here we will help.

Arkady, is b3 the first tb 3.0 build you've tried? I tried this with b2 and it also failed to set the new mail indicator. I'm trying to get a regression window, and also be sure I'm recreating this problem correctly.

I asked for master password at start up of Tb, its ok. I tried Tb3 b2 first and this bug had been already there. By the way I've got several IMAP and POP accounts and everything is ok with IMAPs. Will try to log something.

no need for a log - I'm reasonably sure we're checking for new pop3 messages, just not doing the notification. The main unknown is when this broke in the 3.0 codebase.

I could reach next bug(my base of comment #2) again. > Bug 458625 "Check for new mail at startup" has no effect > without "Automatically download new messages" with pop account

Bug 458625 comment 12 may know what went wrong. Probably this and bug 458625 are the same.

I understand from comment #5 and comment #7 that this bug only happens when "Automatically download new messages" is OFF, so I adjusted the summary to reflect that.

For me the bug happens even if "Automatically download new messages" is ON!

Closing as DUP of Bug 458625. If this bug is for different issue, or if problem still occurs with build on which patch for Bug 458625 is already landed, please reopen.

(In reply to comment #19) Mail is not downloaded even after restart of Tb? Or no biff sound? If latter, read Bug 458625 Comment #24, please.

OK, It works after Tb restarting, with "Automatically download new messages" being ON.

AFAIR, problem like next exists and old bug report for it exists. Change of "Automatically download ..." setting is not effective until restart.
