Strange email problem

[gwiadmin]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there might have some insight on this:

We have a client who has 11 or so email accounts with us. They are using Thunderbird 1.07 as their email client and are accessing email via IMAP. Now, every machine has all 11 accounts set up in the Thunderbird client. Everything seems to work fine this way...they get what they wanted which was the ability for everyone to get to everyone else's email without having to log in again. We have one PC though that for whatever reason, will not show new messages in any of the accounts unless Thunderbird is closed and reopened. We've tried completely uninstalling Thunderbird and removing references to it in the registry, then reinstalling a clean install, but this doesn't seem to have any affect. I realize this is probably not the BEST place for a question like this, but I thought I'd just throw it out there and see if anyone has any thoughts.

Thanks a bunch.

Well, I think I know exactly what you are talking about. We here at the office have exactly the same problem. We are using different mailboxes using IMAP and everyone is accessing all the mailboxes at the same time.

From time to time, thunderbird just freezes, and by freezes I mean it stops receiving new emails.

We believe it is a problem with thunderbird, because Outlook never makes such things. Outlook does not see all the IMAP folders though, so there is no complete solution to our problem yet. We have been using thunderbird since version 0.8* something, and that problem persists...

If the guys from mozilla fix it, it will be nice...
