There have been many people complaining about not getting new messages via GoDaddy IMAP server recently, unless Thunderbird is restarted. Check with GoDaddy if they have any problems. Assuming there is a GoDaddy support forum, check whether other users have the same problem.

I'd say it did work well, and it may well be the problem now. Try to increase the interval to 15 min.
