Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
I am running dapper drake. Thunderbird has two pop accounts and one movemail account.
The pop accounts work fine,
The movemail account performs strangely. I have selected for it to check mail on startup and every 10 mins. It refuses to do either, even a ctrl-shift-t does not goad it into working however if I right click the account directly and select 'get messages for account' it downloads my system mail perfectly :)
I have tried 'apt-get install --reinstall mozilla-
I have wiped my .mozilla-
Since it works when I right click the account directly I am confident it is not a config problem but a problem with thunderbird.
Since I have been missing system mail it is quite a problem :)

To reproduce:
1. from the command line:
$ echo "test" | mail -s none username
2. Press Control+Shift+T or select the Get All New Messages menu item... mail
does not show up. However, selecting "Get New Messages for movemail" works.

I'm also having this problem and also the movemail account I have isn't checked
at startup or every x minutes even though the options are set - I have 4 other
accounts, ISP-based and they work just fine.
To get the mails from the movemail account I have to select it and "Get Mail" or
select it from the drop-down box on the "Get Mail" button.
Using Gentoo Linux and Thunderbird binary version:
mail-client/ mozilla- thunderbird- bin-1.0. 6-r3
