This means you will likely receive more messages if you can only connect for a short period of time. It would avoid the common case of having to download messages in a hurry, and getting "stuck" on a huge message early in the list which locks up the connection for longer than you have online. I am willing to pay a $50 paypal bounty for this feature. affects /products/thunderbird affects /distros/ubuntu/mozilla-thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/32624/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
