Since its last major release, the mail program Thunderbird comes bundled with the calendar and task add-on Lightning. Which I ignored at first, then recently disabled. Then I noticed that Thunderbird didn’t check for new mails from my accounts (all POP3) every X minutes, even though nothing was changed in those options. A manual check for new mails worked fine.
At first, I didn’t connect this to disabling Lightning, but apparently that was the cause since after reactivating it, the periodic mail download works again.
I couldn’t find a hint about this connection on the net, so maybe this post helps someone now who encounters the same problem…
Update: After Windows hibernation over night, it again won’t work. Grmbl. What could that be…? At least after a Thunderbird restart, it works anyway (which didn’t help with Lightning disabled)…
Update 5.10.: Version 38.3.0 is said to fix the hibernation issue. Let’s hope that’s true.

Mir geht es genauso. Nach Rückkehr aus dem Ruhezustand werden nicht mehr automatisch neue Mails abgerufen. Das müsste seit dem letzten Update so sein.

Das kann ich bestätigen. Bei mir dasselbe Problem. Es scheint allerdings zumindest bei mir nur nach einem längeren Standby des Systems aufzutreten.

Bestätigt – das gleiche Phänomen hier mit TB 38.2.0
