Thunderbird IMAP new messages not refreshing

New email is not being synced consistently for my Exchange 2013 mailbox via IMAP
Forcing Thunderbird to check for new email shows no new email. If I restart Thunderbird I will get the latest email, also if I force Thunderbird offline (little computer screen icon on the bottom right) then go back online I will also be able to receive new email. If I leave Thunderbird after some amount of time (hours) I will get updated email.
Behaviour happens using Linux/Thuderbird latest version as well as Windows 8.1/Thunderbird lastest version.
Suggestions?
Thanks
John

Matt,
Thanks for the suggestion the setting was already selected. I am digging through some logs and hopefully discover what is causing this behaviour.

New messages not recorded in Sent file. Can't save to drafts

New MacBook, Tiger. Searched forum without success. Asked other Mac users without success. Please help if you can.
I run my own mail server (postfix, courier imap). Mail using thunderbird and the same settings works flawlessly. When I use Mac's mail program new messages aren't saved to draft periodically as I compose and I get an error about that. New messages get successfully sent; but, are not posted to the sent folder.
The [preferences - accounts - mailbox behavior sent - store messages on server] is checked.
I connect to my mail server over ssh and forward ports 25 and 993 for uber-security reasons. I haven't tested to see if this is effecting this problem.
Any thoughts?
Regards,

Where do server-stored mailboxes appear in Mail? Do they appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox maybe?
If server-stored mailboxes appear as subfolders of the account’s Inbox in Mail, this account requires INBOX to be typed in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix for Mail to manage and display its mailboxes properly. After having done that, Mail should be able to save messages on the server, but maybe in a mailbox different from where you want them to be. To fix that, select the desired folder in Mail and choose the appropriate option from Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For.

New messages not appearing in the INbox, only in 'All Mails'

Hi,
I'm using Gmail and iPhone 4.2.1. I'm managing gmail on the iphone using the Google Mail imap account.
When my browser is open, new messages are delivered to the INbox, as well as to my 'All Mail' folder, which is normal behaviour. When I feth gmail on the iPhone, same thing: I see the messages in both folders.
But, when my browser isn't open and I fetch new messages on the iPhone first, then these new messages are only stored in the "All Mail" folder and not in the INbox? Later, when I check in my browser, same thing: the fetched messages are missing from the INbox folder, and thus, I have a gap in the INbox.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Kris

New messages not visible in Mail

I use Mail for all of my gmail accounts. Recently I noticed that there were no new messages appearing in the Inbox for my principle, general purpose gmail account. Furthermore, the circular array of 'rotating' grey rectangles at the right hand side of the mailboxes pane is continuously active - I understand this to mean that mail is being 'received'.
There is certainly activity and Mail is successfully logging in to the gmail mail server, but no new messages are appearing in the Inbox.
I have a large number of rules on this Mailbox, but I have deactivated the rules - there is no discernible difference, and I have checked in the local mailboxes that these rules were moving messages to - no new messages there either.
Because the source is a gmail account, I thought to simply delete the account from Mail and start again, but it appears that I cannot even do that. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Regards.
Neil

I thought to simply delete the account from Mail and start again, *but it appears that I cannot even do that.*
Why not? What is stopping you from doing so?
Try the Mail "rebuild" setting - Mail/Mailbox/Rebuild

If you have a memory card, check to see if the phone is still storing messages in the same place. Example, if the phone is currently set to store messages on the phone memory, switch it to the memory card and see if the messages then show up.

Append Signature only for **new** messages - not for replies???

I have a Palm Centro (great device - my first "smart phone" ) and am using Palm's e-mail application to e-mail through my Yahoo account. The issue I have is this: When I create a **new** message my signature is appended to the e-mail. When I **reply** to a message my signature does NOT get appended. Any way to have the signature always be appended to my outgoing e-mails? It seems that Blackberry and iPhone do this just fine. I want people to know whenever a message is sent from my Centro as it will be short and most likely have errors in the text.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

The Sprint Centro comes with two email applications, VersaMail (which is the "Email" icon), and Sprint Mobile Mail (the "Getmail" icon). I don't know which of these applications comes set as the default email application for the Email button on front of the Centro, so you can make sure you are using VersaMail by going into the Application launcher screen and selecting the Email icon.
Assuming you have an email account set up, while in that account open the Menu, select Options > Preferences > Signature. Check the box to attach your signature, create whatever signature you want, and tap OK.
[Oh, and I have merged your latest post into this existing thread.]

I can't find a setting to change it >.>

Hello!I had the same problem...and I deleted all my messages from my inbox, switched phone off/on...then sent a message to myself...that seemed to help.

Master Password Feature: After sometime (10-15 min.) the drop down list for the field on any site does not show; opening new window (not refresh or new tab) drop down appears.?

I manage a ton of accounts for different customers suing the same login pages (GoDaddy, WordPress, etc.) I use the Master Password Feature to help keep track of the many variants in logins and passwords.
After some unknown period of time, even closing the page tab so a new page session is started at the remote server, Firefox does not provide me with the usual drop-down selection list of the previously used login names. However, if I open a new FF window (file/new window) from the menu bar, the drop down becomes available.
How can I refresh the original window session in FF or change the timeout length?

Well, you said LOV...that might mean you are using JDev 11g. Are you? If so what technology stack are you using?
Assuming you are using JSF (?) you might be "backing" your list component in the application scope...but that is not likely.
If you are using ADF/BC on your business component level, you can clear your view object from which you are querying the possible values of this list...unless your you have made a method to compile this list...in which case you know what you are doing...so that is probably not the case.
Essentially you want to requery the VO upon which your LOV is based...unless you are using JPA or something...and then I know "requery" is not the right word...is it?

Gmail IMAP new message notify sound

I recently setup my IMAP GMail account using Mail 3.3 but when I receive a message the red notification icon appears but no notification sound...
Is this normal? Can it be fixed?

Hi Dobee,
This is a known bug, it has been around since 10.5.0. The bug is currently being investigated by Apple Engineering.

Email a link opens entire Outlook exe, not just send a message, how do i change this to only send a message, not open outlook.exe?

When i click on Send a Link from Mozilla, it opens up an entirely new Outlook windows, so if i send two links, i will have two Outlook's open. how do i just make it only open a new message, not the entire Outlook. We are running Windows 8.1 and the newest firefox build, thank you

I actually do not know for sure, but when opening : "3bar" > Preferences/Options > Applications > and search for mail to, if you set it to always ask it does it still open two Outlooks?

IPhone 4s text conversation requires backing out before new messages appear.

Really strange question here... but I've got a new 4s (just purchased today)... and here is what happens:
I'm in a texting conversation with a friend. I don't leave the conversation screen at all (so my last message sent is still on the screen). I can see the person typing their reply (in iMessage). My phone will then play the new text sound/vibrate... but the message doesn't show up in the conversation screen. For me to see the new message... I have to back out of the conversation and go into messages... where the "new message" blue bubble will show up.
What I'm wondering is... why in the world does that new message not simply show up in the conversation screen? Why do I have to back out completely to see new messages?
Any help would be VERY much appreciated. I've tried looking in the Message settings, but with no luck.
Thanks!

Just to clarify, since restoring the phone the message issue seems to be resolved, however I would like to find out why it's respringing and why the issue with the messages was occuring. It's starting to get annoying to have a phone that resets all the time and I really don't want a device that I have to restore every week or so.

My aol inbox does not automatically refresh and display new messages in firefox, but it does in google chrome. How do I fix this?

I have been trying to update settings to allow my aol mail to automatically refresh when new messages come in, vs having to click on the "inbox" in order to view new messages. I followed aol's troubleshooting steps to allow for this, and I finally got it to work in google chrome... but it will not automatically refresh in firefox. can you please help? thanks!

Which troubleshooting steps did you get?

Please tell how to do, that when I want to forward a message, a message opens in new tab, not in a new message window in thunderbird. Thanks.

Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

When composing a new message with Thunderbird, the program freezes & says "not responding"

Recently, I needed to reset my 'Main work Computer' to factory default. Before I wiped everything I saved all the messages addresses etc via Mozback, I then transferred all the info to the laptop to see if it works, which it does.
After this I re-installed Thunderbird to my recently reset computer, I used Mozback up to restore all the information as set like it was previously.
It was working great for about a day then only recently I came across this problem:
Thunderbird still receives mail & I can read it, however when I try 'compose new message', 'reply' or 'forward' a message the new box will open up ready to type into except it freezes & it says not responding.
I have it on my laptop & its working fine for now but I'm wanting it to work on the Main Computer!!
What should I do??

I've figured it out!!! Because I had only just reset the computer to factory default, I decided to reset it again & follow my steps to see what may of happened.
I installed all programs including Thunderbird & it was all working fine...
Until I decided to load a whole heap of fonts into the System. This is where something went wrong with Thunderbird & would freeze when composing a message. So I deleted the fonts I had just installed & it worked again... Now I only load fonts one at a time when I need to. (I am a sign designer, we need fonts!!)
