Re: Phantom Entries in Folder List
Jason,
Thanks, I am doing fine, I hope all is well with you. RC7 already out - you have been busy.
I am so sorry for being so late with my tests. This is such a minor thing that I am almost embarrassed to follow up. However as a programmer I know that sometimes minor things can illuminate other unknown issues. At any rate, I have now loaded RC7 and the "nil" files remain.
The change seems to have occurred going from RC5 to RC6, and is still present in RC7.
Here is my test setup.
-----------------------------------
Machine A: has RC1 through RC7 trees in /srv/www/htdocs, rc files in /etc/hastymail2/hastymail2.rc_1 through 7
Machine B: has RC7 tree in /srv/www/htdocs
1) Set both machines hastymail2 tree to RC7, hastymail2.rc file to RC7
Login to both machines at same time
Result: Both show "nil" filenames on folder option page (as described in the earlier post)
2) Change Machine A hastymail2 tree to RC5, hastymail2.rc file to RC5
Login to both machines A and B at same time
Result: Machine A (RC5) does not have "nil" filenames on folder page
Machine B (RC7) does show "nil" filenames on folder page
3) Change Machine A hastymail2 tree to RC7, hastymail2.rc file to RC7
Login to both machines at same time
Result: Both now show "nil" filenames on folder page
----------------------------------
Notes:
Both machines are talking to the same uw imap server at the same time.
I only renamed the hastymail2 trees and copied the matching rc files to change versions. I did not do anything else - like rebuild anything or reset parameters.
----------------------------------
The "nil" files do not seem to cause any problems. We now are all using hastymail2 to access our internal mail server and have not had any real problem since ... actually it has been stable for us since RC1! That is a nice reflection on your hard work and craftsmanship.
Thanks again.
