That is when this started.  A couple years or so ago Google switched to
a new method.  When I changed that setting to match what Google
required, it would no longer auto fetch messages.  I have to hit the
button to get it to fetch them. 

I've tried everything to get it to start working and it just plain
refuses.  I figured it wasn't allowed for some reason with that method
and just got used to doing it manually.  I wouldn't mind fixing it tho. 
I only have one account that I use with Seamonkey.
