Bug 65025 – Thunderbird 0.8 won't display messages that have arrived after the program has done the initial mail check

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Luke 2004-09-22 15:33:09 UTC]

When I have thunderbird running, it works like it should, but when it checks the email accounts at intervals, any new mail that arrives is unable to be viewed until the program is closed and started up again this is on KDE 3.3
When you try and click on that message, the message pane doesnt update, it stays with the same contents that were on it previously



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup mail accounts in thunderbird 0.8
2. Receive mail
3. Get someone to send you a message, and wait till it comes in with the auto check, and try and click on it

Actual Results:  
I click on the mail, and it doesn't display it (although the message is
highlighted, and it doesnt mark it as read), it just shows the previously
clicked message or the thunderbird page

Expected Results:  
It should display the message I clicked on so I can view the message
