Re: Reading mbox mail on Thunderbird (FC5)

I've set up Thunderbird with 2 different accounts. One is a pop account
from my ISP, and the other is a regular mbox account for local email.

The pop account works just fine. I get notified when new mail shows up.
The problem is that I get no notification when I get local email. If I
select the inbox for the local mail and click the "Get Mail" button, it
shows up immediately. Under the server settings I have it set to check
for new mail every 5 minutes but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone else
see this problem and have a solution?

I believe it's a feature. It has never worked for me, and several
months ago even led me to submit to the temptress known as Evolution
for awhile, just so I could see my mbox traffic show up without
having to click "get mail" (or whatever).

I'm now back with T'Bird. Evo and I didn't get along very well.
