No warning when a server is down?
I am testing a private POP3 mail server, so I set up an account in Thunderbird for it. I set it to check for email every minute.
I have since shut the server down, but Thunderbird is giving me no warning that it is unable to fetch new messages for the account, which I find surprising.
What is the expected behaviour?

I am surprised it even worked checking mail every minute. Generally the connect auth and disconnect should take longer than that.
What authentication were you using?
There should at least have been a timeout, but you never allowed a connection attempt to get that many seconds into it before you kicked of another one. IIRC time out is 300 seconds

I have set the message check frequency to every 10 minutes, but I am still getting no alert that the POP3 server is dead.
is there a redirect/fall over IP in DNS that Thunderbird might be using

No. The POP3 hostname it's pointing to has an IPv4 and IPv6 address, both are currently dead.
