IOError: [Errno 2] No usable temporary directory found in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp',

Happens on some empty folders. Does not happen on others. Not sure why, all the listed temp dirs exist on my systems. If I edit my wrapper script to only run archivemail against nonzero size boxes, i only get one error. Not sure who, but I have one user who's at quota.

I'm the Fedora maintainer for this, so I'll submit a patch if I find a solution.

    I don't see how this relates to the mailboxes in question, since at this point, archivemail may have checked if the mailbox exists, and may have seteuid() to the owners uid, but it has not yet opened the mailbox. The error is pretty bizarre. Did you try to track this down? I would guess this might be related to your quota, although I barely know about quotas. :-)

    Actually, you're right, it is quota related. Though it may not occur with 0.7.1, so I'll check and let you know.

    I strongly doubt newer archivemail versions will behave differently. Can we agree to close this bug? Looks like it's just the quota that's barfing, so it's not related to archivemail.

    This doesn't look like an archivemail bug. Jonathan, you've got a last chance to pick it up, otherwise the BTS bot will close this tracker in the next days. :-)
