Comment (by lunar):

 Replying to [comment:2 arma]:
 > This approach would trick the Tor client into thinking that its user is
 actively using Tor (which she is), thus not ever letting that Tor client
 go into "stop fetching descriptors and stop building circuits" mode.

 My experience is that most Thunderbird users either configure regular POP3
 fetches (every 5-15 minutes) or keep an idle IMAP connection open to the
 mail server. Both would be considered active uses of Tor, or am I missing
 something here?
