Using 2001120504 on NT
When I started using this build, my IMAP Account started on Account Central
which it shouldn't have.
I went to the Account Manager and saw that Check New Mail on Startup was turned
off. I hadn't done that. I turned it back on, quit, restarted, and it's been
turned off again.

This got to be a dup of the global prefs bug that is floating around. Let me
check on that.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
The prefs bug is bug 113482. It is marked fixed and the corrsponding check in is
made on 12/04 at around noon.
Alec, are there any other fixes that are in the pipeline? Scott reported the
bug with build 2001120504 and that would have contained the fix (for bug 113482)
that went in yesterday. My debug build will be finished soon. Will update with
findings.

everything seems to be working again, and no I don't have any more fixes in the
pipeline..
unfortunately if you used a 12-04 build, you whole prefs.js may be horked - my
recommendation would be to go edit prefs.js by hand and remove all the quotes
from your non-string prefs
(look for strings like "true" and change them to true, etc)
yes. Things are working fine. I just veirified with build 2001120504.
repeating : If you have used yesterday's build, please modify your prefs ("true"
-> true & similarly, other non-string prefs) as sugegsted by Alec.
Marking WFM.

I'll verify. I removed the problems from my prefs.js file and everything is
working.

I'm going to reopen. I was using the 12/8 build at home this weekend. Whenever
I went into the Account Manager, a bunch of prefs were lost including check for
new mail on startup. I never had the bad build on my machine and my prefs
looked fine.
Status: VERIFIED → REOPENED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
I just tested with today's build. I haven't noticed any problems. Changed prefs,
quit the app and re-launched.
Scott, Are there any particular set of prefs you have noticed that always fail
to hold the value/state selected by the user..?
Ninoschka, Can you reproduce this..?
thanks,
bhuvan.

They are actually talking about this bug (not this particular bug#) on the
newsgroup and are saying it's specific to 12/8. I don't know if there is a dup
out there. In one of the postings they list a bunch of the prefs that are
failing for me at home.

Scott mentioned to me that this time, the problem seems to be different from one
that existed on/around 12/04 where all prefs were written as strings. 12/08
build seem to be the problamatic one this time around.
Bug 113482 contains comments similar to the problems experinced users who ran
into this bug.
------- Additional Comment #46 From Jonathan Abbey 2001-12-08 18:04 -------
------- Additional Comment #52 From Alexander Skwar 2001-12-09 09:57 -------
and those reports are then redireted to bug 114299. Blake seemed to have fixed
it on 12/09. So, it is possible that the behavior seen here with 12/08 build was
due to Blake's missed checkins on 12/08.
So, please check back with today's/latest build and see if you can reproduce.
thanks,
bhuvan.

Ninoschka, when this is verified, please test the Advanced Server Settings of a
given server also (please take a look at bug 100004 for more details). thanks.

marking worksforme. I'm pretty sure this was a dup. I downloaded today's build
and everything works fine again.

This occurs when I ask Norton AntiVirus 2001 to scan my e-mail. It is then
impossible to get the folder settings to hold. When I tell NAV to stop scanning
the POP server, lo and behold, it works again!

I am using 2001-12-13-06 commercial build on win98. I tried to check the pop pref
" Do not download messages locally that are larger than [N] kb. This pref does
not hold. It defaults to being unchecked which is default setting. Should I log
a separate bug for just this pref. Because a few other perfs that I tried are
worked except the one I mention here.

Sheela, it is possible that this particular pref is still in the bad format in
the prefs file of the profile you are using. I will come and take a look.

Comment 22•23 years ago

This is a separate problem. Sheela filed bug 115159. Please follow up there.
