Evolution fails to handle ALERT messages
Last modified: 2005-11-15 02:22:21 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Evolution 1.2.2 fails to handle ALERT messages generated by the IMAP server. Displaying ALERT messages to the end user is a rfc2060 and rfc2683 MUST requirement. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Login to an account that is either OVER QUOTA or above QUOTA WARN setting. 2. Look at the Evolution GUI for alert messages. (none found) 3. Examine the IMAP protocol trace to confirm the ALERT was sent and ignored. Actual Results: No ALERT response codes are displayed. Expected Results: IMAP server ALERT response codes should be shown. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information: This is a follow on to old bug#222496. If the patch in #22496 is present in Evolution 1.2.2 it needs some tweaking to work correctly. Display of ALERT response codes is an rfc MUST. See rfc2683 section 3.4.11. ALERT Response Codes and rfc2060 section 7.1 Server Responses - Status Responses for details. I will attached some protocol traces of this error.
Created attachment 42305 [details] Simple IMAP session showing ALERT response code
this is a dup, and I think we even handle alerts now in 1.3.x anyway.
Tested just now with evo 1.3.2 RC/preview and it still fails for this test case. Looking at the previous patch it never will because it fails to match aagainst all possible response status (OK vs NO, vs BAD). What is the duplicate bug number please? I'll post into that for tracking. A search before didn't turn up anything obvious other than #22496 and #34257 which are both closed.
