Description Valentin Lorentz 2012-07-29 21:24:06 UTC

Hi,

I ran out of free space in /home (40KB), and when sending mail, I got "cannot find private key" (or something like that).
I tried again, I still got this message. I freed some space, and I no longer have the message.

Regards,
Valentin

This message must be coming from something other than Claws. Is it possible to check what the actual message was?

I receive a network error when there is no space left on my machine (it's an older one). I noticed it when I was updating my computer (Debian testing), after which claws-mail continued to function. When I've seen this error in the past, I was able to clear up space and claws-mail continued to work.

This error occurs when viewing messages. Sending messages, it gives a warning about space not left on the device.

If needed, next time it occurs I can get the actual error message.

An error like "cannot find private key" probably came from gpg through a crypto plugin. We have no control over these error codes...
