Arena2045 Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 I'm asking because an administrator at my internship flips out and calls me every time it comes up (read that as: every day!). He does not want it to automatically download new messages at startup... I've tried every setting I can thing of, I'm stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeber Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Under "Tools/options/general, I have Mail Start Page set to "chrome://messenger/locale/start.html", and it opens to my inbox. Then under Tools/Account Settings/Server Settings, uncheck "check mail at startup".That should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arena2045 Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hey Jeber,I downloaded Thunderbird on my XP system, and was able to produce the exact same thing.If I uncheck the option to “Check for new messages.†I get it on my system also... But if I leave it checked I dont get that. I tried different settings including the ones you said. I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 For some reason, if you don't have an account checked to get messages on startup, it doesn't open automatically to the inbox. I would think this is a bug, so I'll check bugzilla and the Mozilla forums to see if there's a workaround to this problem... Otherwise it just requires having one account set to check mail at startup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Thanks Ryan .... I have noted this behavior too, but I do have one account I like to check at startup so it works right for me.It is very annoying if you don't have one checking on startup though.BTW: We missed ya there for awhile Ryan...good to see ya more again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
