[CSCMail-Users] Cannot view message

[Olli <obi...@gm...>]

Hi,

Have appended a message which I cannot see in cscmail. The message gets
downloaded (the little window tells me that one message is retrieved from
server), however, after completing, the inbox still claims to be empty and I
cannot see the message. I use version 1.7.9 from cvs and for sure it is not the
(I think obsolete) bug of not deleting mail from server despite of being forced
to do so.

Finally I fetched this mail successfully with xfmail and here is the result.
There are two files:
the first one, 'wrongMessage.txt' I copied from a folder where xfmail usually
stores its messages. there are some strange combinations of signs and letters
in it.
the second one, 'msg.txt' is saved from within xfmail and shows how the body of
the message should appear.
Unfortunately, the message is in german :-(

This problem has already happened a number of times so fortunately I switched
off deleting mail from server after downloading so that I am able to check my
gmx.de account via its browserinterface at www.gmx.de and delete mail manually
there

Any ideas?

Oliver

Well, this is odd.. I imported the "wrongMessage.txt" file into CSCMail and it
displayed correctly... So I think maybe the bug is in the mail transfer, not
the MIME decoding... when you get the message in CSCMail (via POP) it shows on
the list, but doesn't decode properly, right? if so, please do a "file"->"save"
on that message and send me that... this will let me see what is different in
the version POP downloaded via CSCMail and the version that xfmail downloads...

No, it does not show on the list :-(
AND I am not able to import the wrongMessage.txt into cscmail ???
Starting from a shellprompt, there are no messages at all, indicating some
errors, it just says "HTML Widget is: GtkHTML", which is a normal
statusmessage, isn't it?
When I click on file import, I can see a little widget for a very short time,
saying something like "Transfer...", but afterwards the imported message still
doesn't get listed. And still no error messages at all.
Very odd.

And another behavior, that I observed today: 
Now, I don't delete messages from server. So, when I forget to delete manually
via browserinterface, the next time I fetch mail this messages will be
downloaded again. If so, some messages appear twice (or three times, if again
downloaded) but some not! For example, this message from you which I reply to
at the moment, still shows only once. Whats this?

Have the feeling it appears only with my gmx account, but that may be but by
chance, it is the last account to be checked in my list of accounts.

I think cscmail indicates the messages by their message-number. The bug
with the mails that get not downloaded (in 1.6.1) bases on that I think. Since
this error is corrected there may be a message with the same message-id,
maybe you already downloaded the message and now its sticking somewhere in your
folders.

just a suggestion, hope it helps anyways, Daniel
