When I start Mozilla it checks for new mail. It always says no new mail. When I click on get messages if there are any new ones I get them downloaded. Why doesn't the first check find new mail as it used to? Thanks

Does this happen with a POP or an IMAP account?

more options

A POP account

more options

Did you choose the "Global Inbox" for this POP account in Account Settings > Server Settings > Advanced...?

more options

No. It is set as Inbox for different account > Local folder

more options

Why "No"? "Inbox for different account > Local folder" is exactly what I suspected and what my first screen shot showed. Did you activate ✔︎ Include this server when getting new mail? Otherwise Thunderbird never will check automatically for new mail in this POP inbox ....

more options

Yes include this server is ticked

Is the ✔︎ check mark set in all POP accounts in their respective Advanced Account Settings ?

more options

There are two accounts on the system It is set for only one of them.

Why don't you tick it for both accounts?
