Hello, again.
I just realized that I should have included the following code in my
question (see below):
The code that actually performs the ping (and seems to return false/NIL)
is the following:
bool ttx_Mail::Ping() {
if (stream) {
long lResult;
lResult = mail_ping(stream);
if (lResult && stream->mailbox) {
return T;
}
else mm_dlog ("%No mailbox is open on this stream");
}
return NIL;
}

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
