My inbox doesn't update with new email automatically
For probably 6 months or more my Inbox will not update with new email as they come in automatically. I have to close and re-open Thunderbird to see a new email. Even if I hit Get Messages, it doesn't update with new email when I know there is one (see in phone or if I restart Thunderbird). It would update prior to this time.

Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
Matt, I'm afraid that didn't help. It shows everything disabled (plugins, extensions, etc.) and still won't receive new email automatically or if I hit Get Messages. It does not show any add-ons installed.

-I use McAfee Internet security, version 14, release 14.0 R10. -The email provider that I'm having trouble with is Charter. I actually have both Charter and my Gmail account on Thunderbird. Gmail seems to update automatically and when I click Get Messages, but not the Charter account. However, it used to. -Internet provider is also Charter. Below is the troubleshooting info. (Thanks for any help!)

Wrt McAfee see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues#McAfee
Wrt Charter: There was a similar problem with GoDaddy a while ago which did affect many people, and GoDaddy were simply denying there was a problem at all. In the end they silently fixed it, whatever the problem was.
GoDaddy reference fyi: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1260724#c10
Even though not recently anymore there have been a lot of complaints in this forum from people using Charter about the very same problem. You'll need to complain to Charter. Tell them you're not the only one with the problem.

IIRC the issue is charter IMAP does not wrap folder names in quotes after the initial download. So subsequent fetches fail because the folder names are not correctly quoted by the server software
Guess I just can't use thunderbird with my charter email then unless I open and close it all the time. I'm sure charter won't do anything about it. It did work previously so they must have changed in the past year. Bummer!
