Your own reply and that of Per demonstrates the issue, but since it appears to be just me, I'm now suspecting this could be a problem with my mail provider (mail.com in this case for this address)
That is easy for you to check.
You can look at the time stamps on the "Received:" lines in the header.

Thunderbird receives constantly from the IMAP account so long as I click on its Inbox now and then, which I do regularly.
If you men that it only polls via IMAP when you clink, as opposed to polling constantly, then I suggest you review the configuration for that IMAP account service. Under 'Server Settings' I have 'update every[30] minutes. If you don't have that set it will only update if EITHER you click or if you invoke the 'get messages -> all' option from the menu bar. I believe the default when creating accounts is to leave that blank, which means you have to click, so the behaviour you describe if to be expected. If you don't want that, alter the configuration.
To take another example, the thread 'What is /run/user/<user-id> directory and how to make sure it's created?' has just seen three new posts appear, those from 25/01/15 at 03:18 from Carlos and two nested posts many hours later, yet I've been checking the account throughout 25/01 and only a few dribs and drabs of other posts were appearing all day.
Unless I've been added to some filter by either the list maintainer, my French ISP or GCHQ, I'll have to consider it more likely the mail provider at fault. If it continues more than a few more days I'll look into it some more.
I'm not sure what you are complaining about here. In threaded mode the messages are nested by how they are replied to, not by time. Of you want to see the time-order you need to turn threading off. Polewards note, that apart from the time field, which I think is time sent mapped to your own TZ, there is an 'order received' field that you can order by when not threaded. -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML Mail / \ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
