Please correct this summary, it's useless and does not indicate anything about the behaviour you describe. WARNING **: xml_parse_next_tag(): Can't parse next tag The warnings is risen during startup while parsing an empty folderlist.xml in xml.c:160. mv ~/.claws-mail/folderlist.xml{.bak,} solves the problem. OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR 1. start claws mail 2. colole shows: WARNING **: xml_parse_next_tag(): Can't parse next tag 3. the account creation wizard is shown EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR 1. claws on start finds out, the folderlist.xml (or any other config file) has been corrupted (or empty as in this case) 2. the warning is caught (or prevented by checking in advance) and shows the affected file 2. check for a backup file, restore it and load it 4. show the main window as usual, depending on preferencesa i didn't say i didn't understand what you were reporting, i was just pointing out that using the text "WARNING **: xml_parse_next_tag(): Can't parse next tag" in no way helps to identify the bug when looking through the list of bugs.
