 Replying to [ticket:6337 proper]:
 > It adds unnecessary load to Tor if the user left his desktop for a while
 or simply forgot to close Thunderbird.

 Right. We really want to avoid Tor packages that use Tor the whole time
 whether the user is around or not -- it means the directory fetching can
 never go idle.

 > Checking every 10 minutes lets the mail provider guess how long a Tor
 session lasted.

 Also a good point.
