[<kp...@ma...>]

Hi there,

I've just downloaded the new cvs snapshot (14th of April 2003), and this time it worked :-) I then ran the smoketest on this new version - here are my results: (I don't know if this is the right forum to post the results, and if they should rather be put in a bug report, then please let me know).

NB: If nothing is mentioned about a test, it went alright!

Test: Columba Core, 3. Open views:
Result: What is the purpose of the menues "Mail" and "Message Window"? They just open another copy of Columba and an empty window respectively. Though "Message Window" can be correctly activated from the context menu when rightclicking a message. The "Adressbok" menu item works correctly.

Test: Creating and Receiving Messages, 3. Send - character encoding
Result: Seems to work, but I believe there is a bug in the Character Encoding menu: The topmost item should display the active character encoding (?), but always shows "Automatic".

Test: Basic Message Options, 2. Move Message / 3. Delete Message
Result: When trying to move or delete several messages at once, a FileNotFoundException occurs. The messages are moved / deleted anyway. By the way: When deleting messages, they does not seem to be transferred to Trash - they just "disappears". That's not expected behavior, is it?

Test: Basic Message Options: 4. Dnd
Result: I could not get drag'n'drop to work

Test: Mail Filters, 1. Create Filter
Result: The item in the Folder menu is not named "Filter Options" as stated in the smoke test document (just for information...)


And just some other issues. If these are already known bugs, then please just ignore me.

1) Import from old version of Columba (0.9.11) using the mh filter as stated in the documentation: Sent items do not import correctly, some header information disappears, e.g. the subject. Further more the "Date" column in the message list behaves strangely after import. First it is all grey, and afterwards some strange results appears when selecting messages (hard to describe, hope it makes at least some sense ;-) )

2) I could not get "Manage Messages Remotely" to work. The window just doesn't show up after selecting the menuitem.

3) It is still not possible to create a new subfolder at the toplevel - but you can create it in e.g. the inbox and move it afterwards.


And then one last question: Why is the subject of sent items transformed into something like "=?Cp1252?...........?=" and all spaces are transformed to "_"? This is true when viewing the list of messages in the "sent" folder, and when I receive mails in Eudora 4.0 sent from Columba - but not when receiving mails in Columba sent from Columba???


That's my "few" cents. Hope it is usefull, and can help the further development. I really believe that Columba is an interesting project.
