Comment:
"Mails are automatically checkd (sic) on startup, if and only if
"automatically check every N minutes" is set."

If you ask me, I don't think it is user friendly that the option for
checking at startup is "hidden" in the option for checking for mail
every X minute. How ironical that Evolution is fixing bugs in a way that
is user unfriendly while Evolution is a PIM app for a DE that aims to be
easy to use.

Common sense, if I'd want to enable the option to check for e-mail at
startup, I'd search for an option which goes by that name, I would NOT
enable the option to check for mail every X minute, because that is a
completely different option. Do you guys think the average user will be
able to get their mail checked at startup if they can't find the option
for that in the Preferences (instead they need to have innate knowledge
that the option to check for mail at startup is in fact included in the
option to check for mail evey X minute)?

So if you ask me this bug is NOT fixed. But whatever, Ubuntu can't help
it, that's probably the way the Evolution dev's consider bugs "fixed".
They can't even get some of the most trivial functionality in Evolution
working the right way, I'm a bit disappointed.
