claws-mail --debug >& log , with a single run of the failing operation

I tried downloading all Gmail messages from the server. The web interface provides an option for this. The reason for this is to harvest e-mail addresses with another plugin from claws-mail.

However, at some point the downloading stops. It's still not complete.

It seems to 'hang' just at the end of 2011. Claws-mail shortly goes into fetch mode and then returns as if nothing happens.

I suspect the line which is used as a subject for this bugreport might provide a hint. I don't think that 279 messages can be 0 bytes. However, maybe I'm wrong.

It's POP. You're leaving the messages on the server, but Claws knows which ones it has already downloaded because the UIDL is recorded in ~/.claws-mail/uidl/[your-account-file]

If you want Claws to re-download the messages that you have already received, then you must remove their UIDL records from the above mentioned file.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I already checked that. However:


gebruiker@Delta:~/.claws-mail/uidl$ ls -la ~/.claws-mail/uidl/
totaal 8
drwx------  2 gebruiker gebruiker 4096 jul  9 07:53 .
drwx------ 11 gebruiker gebruiker 4096 jul  9 07:54 ..
-rw-rw-r--  1 gebruiker gebruiker    0 jul  9 07:53 pop.gmail.com-k.uitermark@gmail.com

Could it be related to this?:

If it is that bug, then it's not a Claws bug, therefore can still be 'RESOLVED' 'INVALID', and not reopened. Thanks.
