no mail folder avaliable
Last modified: 2006-03-24 19:58:06 UTC
Please describe the problem: when launching evolution in a terminal i can see many such messages : evolution-mail-WARNING **: Could not setup local store/folder: No provider available for protocol `mbox' Steps to reproduce: 1. launch evolution 2. 3. Actual results: I do not have any acces (invisible) to the mail folders, only the "search" folders are visible. Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information: The bug raise after a system update (debian apt-get ...)
Hmm... "just a system update" is strange... normally this can happen if you have just installed Evolution on a new machine and have copied the file named filters.xml. Since the filters refer to accounts directly, and accounts all have a unique ID number, you get the above error if it cannot find the account anymore, so you either have not copied the account settings or they have been changed in the meantime. Evolution stores its account settings under $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution, but apparently this is not the case here. :-/
Hello, I have two systems, one is always "up to date", the other is more stable, so I found a solution to the problem but not the problem itself. The folder : /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/camel-providers was non existent, I reload the folder with the files from the other machine and the mail folders are OK. As I didn't delete the files myself, I think that the last update was not full OK. I wonder also about the fact that the version of evolution-data-server is 1.4 and the folder is labelled "1.2" ? For me the bug is to close ... without knowing what happens. Regards JP Pozzi
hmm. seems like a distribution update bug. the folder is labelled "1.2", because this describes the API version, as far as i know (see bug 321881#c1). anyway, thanks for the comment and the bug report. closing as invalid.
