711148 2008-10-10 00:09:00 New Tbird installation clearing 3 pop accounts . Finally got all setup (bloody XTRA!!!) but now have a problem with the "Get Mail" button . Clicking it does nothing but clicking the down arrow and then an option does get mail .

This is the only time I have seen this but googling shows others have had this problem going back years . Couldn't find a solution that works, though . The accounts are using the global mail boxes and the box to "Include this server for new mail" is checked . Darned if I can see any diffs from my good systems .

I have also deleted the . msf files and tbird re-created them but this didn't work .

Anyone have an answer?????

711150 2008-10-10 03:28:00 Yes, they are. However, the first account I set up was to its own account (didn't intend this but it happened!). Later, I changed it to the local folders. This is different from my other setups so maybe this is the complicating factor? Who knows! I couldn't see any solution from googling. linw (53)
