Found the culprit. It's gmime. Upgraded from gmime-2.4.15 to 2.6.15, and
the problems I have described started to make themselves known. Now I
have been tracking down which gmime version is the last one not causing
problems. After working in a make-install-test-uninstall loop, I can
defintely say, that gmime 2.4.32 is the last working one in the 2.4
series. In the 2.6 series I tried 2.6.7 through 2.6.19. Everything
beyond 2.6.9 causes problems.

Good to hear. But still that doesn't really explain it, since I'm using
2.6.10(ubuntu) on my development box, and 2.6.19 (vanilla) on the
Jenkins-CI server.

Can you explain what you did when testing and verifying a specific version?


I'm using Slackware. A completely different packaging system. OTOH, it's easy to roll your own packages. What I did was the following:

When I realized, that dbmail 3.0.2 didn't work with the components intended for 3.1.10, I started from the same state as the old server. I verified that dbmail 3.0.2 with the old required components worked.

1. Upgraded libevent to latest. Worked
2. Upgraded libsieve to latest. Worked (shouldn't matter)
3. Upgraded libzdb to latest (3.0). Worked
4. Started to test gmime according to the schedule below:

After each installation of a new gmime version, I made make uninstall, make clean on dbmail. After installation of each new gmime version, ../configure, make, make install

First tried the original gmime 2.4.15. Worked
Compiled 2.6.15. Did not work (didn't even compile)
Compiled 2.4.33. Did not work.
Randomly picked 2.4.19. Worked
Compiled 2.4.32. Worked
Randomly picked 2.6.7. Worked
Compiled 2.6.14. Did not work
Went through 2.6.13-12-11-10. Did not work
Latest version that worked is 2.6.9.

With worked, I mean that Thunderbird displays messages when browsing through the lists, that the attachment clips show up, that the attachments are working, and that the folder tree is not corrupt.

Thats's it.

Best regards,

Peter
