Title: "Check for new messages" settings are not working Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Neither the "Check for new messages settings at startup" or the "Check for new messages settings every" have any effect. In particular I want to turn off auto-check both at startup and at all other times, so I have unchecked both options. However, Thunderbird still checks for new email both at startup and every few minutes or so. As a workaround I tried to set the "Check for new messages settings every" setting to 999999 minutes hoping that this would at least stop the interval checking. However, that didn't work either. Email still trickles in every few minutes. This is very annoying and a huge productivity fail. Any productivity manager will tell you to read email only when you want/need to, not when the email application demands it :-) This is on Thunderbird 12.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. I am using three IMAP accounts.
