Hello, all
I run c-client to an uw-imap server, and the mailboxes are in mbx
format. I have been getting mailbox lock error messages, and these are
totally disastrous, because the call fatal().
Here is an extract from my log files:
5/29/2005 8:41:26 PM: MailStream: INBOX Checkmail
5/29/2005 8:41:26 PM: Debug: 00000021 NOOP
5/29/2005 8:41:27 PM: Debug: * 1 EXPUNGE
5/29/2005 8:41:27 PM: mm_expunged: 1
.....
5/29/2005 8:42:37 PM: MailStream: INBOX Checkmail
5/29/2005 8:42:37 PM: Fatal - Lock when already locked,
mbx={mail.tt-express.com:143/imap/tls/user="....."}INBOX
The CheckMail always does a mail_ping() first, and then if that fails, a
mail_open(). All callbacks to mm_log and mm_dlog are printed in the log
file, an extraction of which you see above. It looks as though either
the mail_ping() failed (no "Debug" traceback) and an extra mail_open was
issued even though the mailbox was open, or the mail_ping() itself
caused the error. As you can see, it's been barely a minute since the
last successful ping.
Is anyone able to enlighten me with respect to this error? It is
particularly nasty since it calls fatal(), which kills everything. I
can't have that happenning.
Why would it call fatal in the first place instead of just returning an
error? How can I make sure that the sequence I follow never hits this
error? I don't want to change any c-client code, so I can't to do
anything direct about the call to fatal(). That would really be my last
resort.
Thanks very much for any ideas you might have.
Mike
