812949 - NS_ERROR_FILE_TOO_BIG from nsIMsgSendLater.sendUnsentMessages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 673703

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Kamens]

Two different Windows users of my Send Later add-on are reporting that Send Later is getting this error when it deposits a message into the Outbox and calls nsIMsgSendLater.sendUnsentMessages:

Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8052000f (NS_ERROR_FILE_TOO_BIG) [nsIMsgSendLater.sendUnsentMessages]"  nsresult: "0x8052000f (NS_ERROR_FILE_TOO_BIG)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://sendlater3/content/backgrounding.js :: queueSendUnsentMessages :: line 72"  data: no

Although the problem was originally noticed when using the Send Later add-on, further investigation revealed that these two users are also encountering it when the add-on isn't installed at all. In particular, if they deposit a message into the Outbox with the Thunderbird Send Later command and then try File | Send Unsent Messages, then this error also occurs then. Or, sometimes, even though there is a message in their Outbox, File | Send Unsent Messages is greyed out.

I had both users try removing Unsent Messages and Unsent Messages.msf from their Thunderbird profiles, and it didn't help.

I looked at the Thunderbird source code to try to figure out what is causing the NS_ERROR_FILE_TOO_BIG, and I had no luck.

Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide (or ask the users of my add-on who are encountering this problem to provide) to help resolve this issue.

Cleaning %TEMP% fixes it. Dup of bug 673703.
