Created attachment 1208 [details] Add new account option - automatically check for mail Currently there are two groups of accounts: those fetched by 'Get all' action and others. Only accounts from first group are fetched by automatic checking. IMHO it would be useful to make decision if account is fetched by manual clicking on 'Get all' separate from decision on whether email is downloaded automatically. Two use cases I have for that are: 1) some servers are extremely slow and faulty and I don't want to burden claws-mail with talking with them too often - just check them once a day when I click 'Get all'; 2) some accounts are used for handling mailing lists with _very_ high traffic and I don't want to see notification about new mail every 2 minutes, but do want to see the email once I click 'Get all'; Hope this makes sense! ;-)

Accounts can have their own autocheck intervals, or follow global interval. This separates the autocheck configuration from 'Get all'. config_version is bumped to 3, because meaning of "receive_at_get_all" in account configuration has changed. Closes bug #2552: in automatic checking, enable the use of different time intervals Closes bug #2837: Detach automatic email checking from 'get all'
Automatic checking is now decoupled from 'Get all' action in account configuration.
