17352 - [PP][BLOCKER][dogfood] Linux crashes at Startup using IMAP

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

Build 1999102709M11: Linux/Redhat 6.0

Overview: Start Mail using an IMAP account. Expand the folders, select the Inbox
and it tries to display the folders and messages but then it crashes.

Step to reproduce:
1. Start Mail
2. Select an IMAP profile
3. Expand the IMAP account to see all the folders

Actual Results: Sometimes by selecting the Inbox it crashes right away. Other
times it gets as far as showing the Password prompt but quickly crashes.

Expected Results: Selecting the Inbox should automatically prompt for a
password so that email messages would display, without a crash.

Additional Information:
- Starting Mail with a POP account works fine, no crash.
- Will check Windows and Mac soon.

I see this on my linux box as well with today's build.  nuke .mozilla directory,
create new profile, set up IMAP mail, and it crashes when you click on the inbox
folder.

This is dogfood and blocker, and the tree will remain closed until it is fixed.

dougt made large changes to proxy handling last night that might be the root
cause.  he is looking at this and will check in in a half hour or so.

Oh man...I started seeing this last night around 11:30 and figured I caught
someone's code in mid checkin so I started a clobber build.

I was actually crashing way out in some gtk code. It didn't make much sense
at the time which is why I just assumed something in my tree was out of date.

I'll look at it again. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with any imap code.
Jonathan mentioned that dougt is looking at this too. I'll add him to the cc
list.

Here's the stack trace I saw last night that I thought was just my tree but it
turns out is effecting everyone:

Did you enter a password in the Account Setup?  Is a password dialog being
displayed when you click on the In-Box?

Comment 7

[Jon Granrose]

in my case, I entered a password in the account setup but didn't click remember
password.  Then after trying to open the Inbox (I think it was on a doubleclick)
it crashed, no dialogs, no nothing.

Comment 8

[Scott MacGregor]

I'm actually configured for remember password so it shouldn't be trying to
bring  up the password dialog when we crash.

[Jon Granrose]

mscott is going to check in a temporary hack to workaround this issue.  we still
need to figure out the root cause and solve this.  If the problem isn't fixed by
Friday, we're going to keep the tree closed over the weekend.

[Jon Granrose]

I respun linux with mscott's fix and did not see this problem.  sent the builds
to QA for additional testing.

Comment 11

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

I have the real fix in hand.  Sending to mscott and pav for a look.

Putting on PDT+ radar.

Fix now checked in.

Build 1999102808M11: Linux/Redhat 6.0
Verified Fixed.

With an IMAP account I was able to start, open a folder, read a message, send a
message, receive a message and exit without a crash. Great!
