So simply requestion for new mail arrived does not succeed?

Have you compared the accounts to see any other differences? You checked
the permissions of the inboxes /var/spool/mail/$USER? And the users'
.subscriptions and it's content?

Don't know what that means in Mozilla's mail client.

So it is a mail client specific problem? Same user account but different
mail client and with Mozilla Mail the problem exists and with a
different client not?
