Description PeterBloomfield 2001-08-30 01:50:00 UTC 
I'm getting this in the Information window, from mbox_sync_mailbox, when
checking mail with mail to be downloaded from a POP3 server. Couldn't get
bug-buddy to produce a stack trace, but gdb gave this:

+ Trace 9107

The problem is that ctx->path is null, but I can't figure out why tonight!

I think this is related (once again) to imap servers forcing logout
and we not noticing. Then it gets into a weird state :\
Comment 2 Carlos Morgado 2001-09-01 12:40:15 UTC 
You're fetching pop3 to an imap mailbox ? Are you getting leftover
/tmp/pop* files with messages ?
Comment 3 Carlos Morgado 2001-09-01 12:55:58 UTC 
Could it be caused by closing an unlinked mailbox ? 
In mailbox_pop3.c, try to remove the unlink() calls (or move
mailbox_close to before them)

The Melanie Thielker's patch is in CVS. This should hopefully fix the
problem. Confirmation would be appreciated.
Comment 5 Pawel Salek 2001-09-24 20:00:11 UTC 
No further problems of this sort are known. I mark the problem as
resolved.
Comment 6 Pawel Salek 2001-11-01 21:33:42 UTC 
balsa-1.2.2 released, closing the report.
