Re: [Evolution] Signatures are not saved

2019-01-28 Thread Paulo Cesar G. Costa

Milan,

Problem solved! Thanks!
The issue was not the use of symlinks, but the fact that the drive they 
were
pointing to was formatted as NTSF. My entry in /etc/fstab was:

LABEL=Mail /mnt/Mail ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022,x-gvfs-show 0 0

Which works well in other places I use NTFS partitions in Linux. However,
the NTFS formatting seems to mess with the attributes and/or the 
permissions. I moved all mail to an ext4 partition, redirected the 
symbolic links and now the signatures work as expected.

All the best,
Paulo

Hi,
thanks. Looking on it, you might be also affected with [1], which is
for 3.30.3. You really should get the latest versions to have things
working. There will be a 3.30.5 release on Monday, though it doesn't
have anything IMAP-related; it'll be a small and the least release in
the 3.30.x series.
Bye,
Milan

Hi,
yes, that's understood, I didn't expect that everyone understands the
IMAP protocol. Some lines above the one you quoted, hard to guess how
many, is the place of the error. The error says "Error fetching message
info", which can be related to the BODYSTRUCTURE I mentioned above,
thus a test with a recent version is more than welcome.

You can try the Flatpak version from flathub.org, just to configure the
account there and see whether it'll work or not. Being it about the
BODYSTRUCTURE, most likely it will work. That would just mean that you
need newer evolution-data-server, as I mentioned in my previous mail.

Milan

Hello Milan,  thank you for your reply.  I opened evolution from terminal using
$ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io,imapx:conman evolution &>log.txt. I did this on a
separate PC with only the problem e-mail account active.  I can send from that
account without a problem.  

The log file says "[impapx:M] Removed connection 0x55a1212a54c0
(server:0x55a1212a54c0) due to error: Error fetching message info: expecting
astring"

There are numerous other lines in the log file, but the above line is the only
one that makes sense to me.

John

Hi,
I do not know whether it's due to it, but there had been done several
changes with respect of BODYSTRUCTURE responses from various servers. A
change for it is part of evolution-data-server 3.30.2 [1], but it's not
exactly the same error message which you see. There had been done more
changes in evolution-data-server, included in the current 3.30.4
release.

I would also try to disable certain parts for the account in the
settings, if you have them enabled. Like the Quick resync, with which
some servers can have issues (and it does influence the STATUS command,
thus it can be related, if it's enabled in your account Properties).

I'd need to see what the server sent and what IMAPx code failed to
parse to check what it is about. Ideally run Evolution as:
   $ CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io,imapx:conman evolution &>log.txt
which will log also the error messages. You can search it for the error
and the text above it is probably the one you are looking for.

Bye,
Milan

Hi,
having the file owned by root:root, instead of pc:pc, looks a bit
suspicious, despite the "everyone can do everything" attributes.

Okay, that you symlink the files into a mounted partition is kind of
important detail, because it's not the standard way of running
Evolution.

It seems that the code thinks that your signature is a script. That's
recognized by file attributes. Does the file in /mnt/ have the
executable attribute set? What is the partition type of the /mnt/Mail?
Some can "garbage" file attributes used by Linux systems.

Milan
