Steps to reproduce:

Make sure you're not connected to network (in my case it's wifi, dunnow if this 
is relevant)
Open Thunderbird
Connect to network.
Check that the network connection works by opening a web page in a browser
Go to Thunderbird and click "get mail"


Actual results:

"looked up gmail.com"  (or whatever is the mail server domain) appears on the 
status bar and stays there for a while. Then it disappears.
Mail is not checked, and no error message is shown.
This happens systematically, 100% of the times.

Then I click "get mail" again, and it ALWAYS works the second time.


Expected results:

thunderbird should have connected to the mail server and checked for new
messages the first time.

This issue has always existed ever since I've used Thunderbird, back to
version 3 or something. On older versions it was only _slightly_ better,
in that you would get a baloon notification (or is it called a toast?)
saying "unable to connect" and a (wrong) message on the status bar
saying "no messages to download" on the first try.

This phenomenon can occur if IPv6 relevant problem exists in your environment.
- first DNS lookup(IPv6 address resolution) takes very long
  => timeout, Tb is unable to login.
- upon second DNS lookup by Tb, IPv6 address resolution is alrweady done by
  first request, then second DNS look up ends within a shor period.
This started to occur from Tb 3, because defaullt of network.dns.disableIPv6 
was changef rom true to false by Tb 3.

What happens if network.dns.disableIPv6=true is set?
(restart Tb after setting change to avoid needless problems)

Because Wifi, wireless connection is established upon first network
request from PC. It may take long and first DNS Lookup by Tb may
timeout.

How long does "first ping(or tracert) imap.gmail.com after re-boot" take in 
your environment?
(1) Re-boot PC, (2) First "ping imap.gmail.com", (3) Second "ping 
imap.gmail.com", (4) Start Tb with network.dns.disableIPv6=false(default) or 
true, (5) Gmail IMAP folder access, Get Msgs etc.
