#10 Error in first execution

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I having a trouble when I execute Bobomail in first
time. It just show a blank screen with a
user@domain.com that tryed to login.
The next time everything works fine.

Does anybody could help me?

I get the same behaviour. Additionally I'm seeing behaviour
where instead of a proper page I get nothing more than the
sid that is in the URL. To be more clear, I get no html,
the only content is the exact contents of the sid URL field.
This "seems" to happen randomly and may happen using any
bobomail function. If I go back and do the same thing
again, I nearly always get the correct result on the second try.

As a followup to my own followup...

I believe I've fixed my own problem where I was getting the
sid. I had previously set

Z_DEBUG_MODE = 1

in bobomail.cgi and

DEBUG = 1

in bobomailrc.py. I did this when I was still trying to get
setup and apparently forgot to change it back. It's not
clear to me why this resulting in getting results showing
nothing more than the sid, but in my not completely
exhaustive testing so far, the problem "seems" to be gone.

As far as the original issue goes, that remains. To add
some detail:

This problem seems to ONLY occur the very first time a user
logs in (or more specifically could it happen the first time
a user is added to some internal database or cache?) to
bobomail. What is output is seems to be

session.Userid+'@'+bobomailrc.pop3_host

Here's my patch to fix this problem, not sure if this is the
best way, but it appears to work:
