Using build 19990712 on Win98, my inbox for pop was created with a lower case "i" using 4.51. When I use that inbox for Seamonkey it shows up with a lowercase "i" and biff does not recognize it. Note: I don't know how to reproduce the lower case "i" for inbox on other win98 systems. This happens when I create a new profile with 4.51 on my win98 system. I can't change the name of the inbox either. Maybe it's because I have a Hotmail account on that system too and it's using the Inbox name with the upppercase. In anycase I have no choice for my inbox, other users may run into this too. 1. Starting with a pop mail account with the Inbox using a lowercase "I". 2. Add the biff statements in your prefs50.js file, using your pop account server number user_pref("mail.server.server1.check_new_mail", true); user_pref("mail.server.server1.check_time", 1); 3. Launch Messenger 4. Open inbox and Get Msgs. 5. Send a message this same account a message. 6. Wait 1 minute to see the biff notification. (green arrow pointing down on inbox folder). I never get it. I should get the notification. I guess we should recognize lower case "i" for inbox too.

I checked in a fix for this yesterday. Any form of Inbox, Trash, Drafts, etc should work in both POP and IMAP.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using 19990722 on my win98 system (this is the system that created the Inbox with a lower case "i" for some unknown reason) this is working now. I tested this using the above scenario only. I will verify this, if other cases show up we'll log a new bug.
