Description Xiurong Simon Zheng 2006-08-20 06:20:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Cannot setup local mail account

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch evolution.
2. Select menu Edit->preference, then add a new mail accound.
3. Select "Server Type" as "Local delivery", 
4. Attempt to setup local spool mail account, selecting e.g. /var/mail/gn_tst1 as the mail box in configuration field.

Actual results:
After selecting e.g. /var/mail/gn_tst1 as the mail box, the forward button in the setup dialog remains greyed out=> user cannot setup local mail account.

Expected results:
After selecting e.g. /var/mail/gn_tst1 as the mail box, the forward button in the setup dialog becomes sensitive.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

patch

As GnomeFileEntry has been replaced by GtkFileButton, we should use gtk_file_chooser_get_filename() to get filename selected.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2006-08-20 11:44:03 UTC 
uhm... confirming.
varadhan: poke! (patch attached, please review - mustfix for 2.8!)
Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-08-21 08:11:11 UTC 
Simonz, The patch is wrong. The emae_service_url_changed is used by host and other entries also, which are GtkEntry. Just apply the patch and see the console, you see the critical warnings. They also have to be handled.
