When I click on the button "Check for new messages", an AJAX response "Checking for new messages..." is being displayed.
Under Settings/User Interface, I have set the option "Refresh (check for new messages, etc.)" to "every 1 minute(s)".
When the latter function is initiated autmatically, the AJAX response reads "Refreshing...".
Are both functions the same thing? Or does the latter one anything more (because of the "etc." in the description) than a manual click on the "Check for new messages" button?
The difference is that plugins can bind to refresh action to update also other states e.g. check for new calendar events. Refresh is executed in all tasks not only mail. So, the difference is that automatic refresh is for update overall system state not only mail-related.
