Subject: icedove: Mailboxes and settings lost after upgrade

Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 16:00:16 +0200

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.0-3
Severity: important

After upgrading from a 1.5 series all my sattings and mailboxes
are lost. More precisely, it lokks like icedove chooses the right
profile, but is unable to load both settings and mailboxes.
Furthermore, selecting Preferences from the menu does nothing
Error console reports lots of errors (attached below)

which upgrade path did you go did you directly upgrade from 1.5 to
2.0.0.0-3 ... or any intermediate steps?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

severity 425390 grave
thanks

I'm experiencing the same bug. May complete settings and mailboxes are
lost. After icedove has started, may mailboxes are gone and also missing
from "Edit-> Account Settings"
This is definitely a grave bug, so I'm raising the severity.

Besides, the nice icedove icons seems to have vanished.

Cheers,
Michael

Subject: Definite problem

Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 18:15:46 -0700

We see this issue too, debian sid, in sidux.

The problem is trivial to fix if you know beforehand it's going to happen:

1. rename your .mozilla-thunderbird directory in ~/
2. apt-get install icedove
3. open icedove 2.0 (the email client will be empty of any user data)
4. close icedove 2.0
5. copy over the CONTENTS of the old .mozilla-thunderbird directory into 
the newly created one.
6. open icedove 2.0 again.

Email and settings are restored.

If you have already apparently lost your data, don't worry, it's not 
gone, just do this, after enabling testing sources in /etc/apt/sources.list

1. apt-get remove --purge icedove
2. apt-get install -t testing icedove (this should restore 1.5.x for 
now, at least while it's in testing)
3. open icedove, your stuff should be back to normal
4. close icedove
5. do the above 6 steps, and it will work fine.

The guy who came up with the 1-6 fix reports that he discovered that fix 
running the tarball version of thunderbird 2.0 a few weeks ago, so it 
looks like this is not a Debian packaging issue, but was in the original 
thunderbird package from the beginning. That's when he discovered the 
fix, copying the directory to elsewhere, then copying the contents back 
into the newly created 2.0 directory, which should theoretically make no 
difference at all, since it's the same directory name, with the same 
contents, but it does make a difference, I had it happen to me today too 
with the new icedove, and our users reported this issue as well:
http://sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=30224#30224

Hope it can get resolved even if it's not a Debian Icedove issue, since 
the fix is hardly intuitive or user friendly.

Just wanted to report that the solution suggested above (steps 1-6)
worked for me.

I also had installed the tarball before, but then went back to
the 1.5 deb (mostly because some extensions didn't work).
But I'm quite sure I backed up my ~/.mozilla-thunderbird before
installing the tarball, and restored it afterwards *shrugs*

Subject: icedove: Cannot create a new setup on a blank account

Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 12:28:12 +0200

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #425390

I am not able to create a new profile with a new user account with 2.0.0.0-3.

The normal behavior on first startup of icedove would be:

- (Dialog) ask for importing other setups
- (Dialog, if no setup) create new profile dialog
- Main window with the new created account apears
- useful ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder with the settings and the new profile is created

The actual behavior is

- (Dialog) ask for importing other setups. I do not have one so I enter no
- The main application window opens without any mail folder
- preferences does not work
- account preferences are empty (and still are if you try to create a new profile in this dialog field
- there is a new ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder but it is not interpreted when starting icedove again (I do not know if there are useful settings in the folder - did not test it)

For now, please purge icedove from your system ... then reinstall.

Subject: Problem with enigmail

Date: Tue, 22 May 2007 23:14:31 +0200

I managed to make Icedove 2.0 work with my old profile following the 6 
steps.

Nevertheless, I had to remove the enigmail package because it is not 
supported by 2.0 version. Icedove stays blocked while trying to find 
update for Enigmail (maybe it's due to permission problems, don't check 
this). Putting enigmail in conflict could be a good idea.

After importing my old profile, I wasn't able to create a new compose 
window, I don't know why. If I have the time, I will take a closer look 
to this issue tomorrow, looking to other recent bugs seems to give some 
hints about possible reasons.

Hung originally checking the "Menu Editor" extension.

I purged icedove.
Installed the old version from "pool" using dpkg, ran old icedove once.
Purged the old version.
Installed the new.
Ran icedove, it updated a load of plugins for me correctly this time.

Looks like it is working as expected, but I need to go find sort 
Enigmail and GNOME support again, as they were from packages, and got 
removed on the purge.

Some loss of styling happened in this process, I assume because the 
graphics are all updated, and so new themes will be required for styling.

sadly 2.0 is now in testing which means that the workaround above no longer works.

Subject: ok, so 2.0 is not in testing yet

Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 15:34:11 +1200 (NZST)

but the workaround is giving me grief.

I've can reproducibly revert to 1.5 but all attempts to then follow the steps to install 2.0 through up a popup saying something to the effect that another version of icedove is running, kill it or restart your system. There's nothing to kill, a new x zsession doesn't work, a reboot doesn't work. I can find no .pid file lurking.

It doesn't check PID it just checks for the presence of .mozilla-thunderbird/default/lock sym. link. Remove it and restart
the icedove. I have no idea why they would create a link with PID info and not even check if it's a stale one due to
the process not being there anymore...

the 6 steps do not work for me, instead I remove the extensions related 
file in the profile folder ( extensions directory,extensions.rdf, 
extensions.cache,extensions.ini) before running 2.0 icedove works for 
me. Maybe because it do not trigger checking for extensions update.

Trying to revert to 1.5 did not work for me: I got a segmentation fault...

the only solution was to purge icedove and then reinstall it...

Subject: Error in icedove start even with a new profile

Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 00:42:07 +0300

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.0-3
Followup-For: Bug #425390


It looks like something is wrong when Icedove starts.
I started icedove with the following command:
 
 icedove -ProfileManager  -jsconsole

and these were shown in the Error Console:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getBoolPref]"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
file:///usr/lib/icedove/components/offlineStartup.js :: anonymous ::
line 79"  data: no]
Source File: file:///usr/lib/icedove/components/offlineStartup.js
Line: 79

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getIntPref]"
nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js :: UpdateMailPaneConfig
:: line 650"  data: no]

Hope this helps. Oh, by the way. Tried to downgrade to icedove
1.5.0.10.dfsg1-3 to check if the mailboxes are ok and all I got
is a segmentation fault. Tried to run gdb and got this:

Core was generated by `/usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0xb7dc6f0c in raise () from /lib/libpthread.so.0

Is this that kind of error that should never appear? Please help me
to help you. If you need the core, I'll put it online.

Thanks,
Igor
