Fixes bug 1077, 'sylpheed-claws does not start when IMAP server is unavailable' (In reply to comment #1) > * src/wizard.c > Allow setting the port to use for servers > by using the usual "server.example.com:port" > syntax. Fixes bug 1077, 'sylpheed-claws does > not start when IMAP server is unavailable' I just tested a claws-mail version with this patch applied built from Andreas. First, I am pretty impressed how fast you responded, but the bug is not fixed completely. The server:port syntax works but claws-mail still exits when the option is wrong. As I just tested, claws-mail does still start (after the wizard successfully exited once), when an account is configured but the server is not reachable, so it seems to be only a wizard problem. Additionally the configuration is not saved when the claws-mail exits because it cannot reach the server, which I can report as a extra bug, if it is not directly related to this. Yes, Claws Mail doesn't like to have no working mailbox; this is why it fails when the IMAP server is unreachable before it had a chance to get the folder tree. As it is a conceptual limitation, I don't think this corner case is worth fixing. Changes related to this bug have been committed. Please check latest CVS and update the bug accordingly. You can also get the patch from: http://www.colino.net/claws-mail/ 2006-12-12 [colin] 2.6.1cvs23 * src/main.c Don't exit when there's an incomplete mailbox configured - leaves a chance to fix a failing IMAP account. Exit if no mailbox at all is loaded (case of missing plugin). Completes bug 1077's fix (I was wrong in this bug's comment #3). |
