Opiemail - Error Initializing Folder

[al_brain]

Hi!

On setting up opiemail, I can add a pop and smtp host. When I go back to the main screen, open the host, then select INBOX I get "Error initializing folder".

Can anybody help me out? I've tried searching but to no avail.

Thanks.

This is no help whatsoever,  but I just got the same error when I installed OpieMail and tried to set it up. I'm going to try a reinstall from the feed.

Anybody know how to fix this?  I installed the Hentges ROM and am still getting this error message for the OpieMail Inbox when it tried to receive mail.

I'm seeing the same thing.  I can send mail through a smtp server.  But I get "Error Initializing Folder"  when I try to receive mail through the pop3 server.  This happens when I click on "INBOX" and enter my password.

Same problem for me.

I found the error message was even interfering with my usb connection so I have uninstalled opie mail for now until I get my usb connection sorted.
Let me know if a re-install of opie mail from the feed cures the problem.

Has anyone found a solution for this?

I have Henteges 3.5.3 on a Poodle. When I turn it on, the gui is suspended for about 30 sec followed by 'Error initializing folder'. Others have thought that it might be Opiemail. I can send and recieve email ok with Opiemail.

What ever it is, is seems to be on a timer. While using the Z for a while, it will lock up after a while and report the same error. Once the error is displayed, the Z is back to normal until the next time. I don't remember the time period (maybe 30 min?).

Anybody know how to debug this?

Try looking in the source and see if you can spot where the error might come from.

Hello, same problem here. But IMHO this is normal. When I start opiemail, it will directly check for mail. When is cannot check mail I got the error. Other it says 'mailbox contains XX mails' or something.

OK, I'm getting the same error, and have tried to find out more, but I'm no C++ programmer!

Situation: attempting to connect to a pop3 server via Opiemail, after a long pause response is 'unable to initialize folder'

Diagnostic action:  an opiemail from a Konsole.  Attepmeted the connection, an reverted to the Konsole to watch for messages.  After a long pause (again!), opiemail printed 'FEHLERNUMMER 5' to the console.   I know enough German to recognise 'Error Number'!

Went looking in the source.  This is where my lack of C++ knowledge may show!   The FEHLERNUMMER message appears to arise from the function  pop3_mailstorage_init() in
noncore/net/mail/libmailwrapper/pop3wrapper.cpp.   The number 5 comes from the response to a call to mailstorage_connect().   I may well be missing something, but grepping through the Opie source for the definition of that function hasn't turned anythig up.

However, it would seem that Error 5 is being thrown by a POP3 connection routine - so what could error 5 be in POP3 terms?  According to the Microsoft knowledgebase (yeah, yeah, but it was the first one to come up on Google!), POP3 errors all start "0x800CCC9" - the one with a 5 on the end is 'No messages on server'.

Fine, so this long pause followed by 'unable to initialse folder' probably actually means ' no messages available.'.  Two things remain:

1.  Why such a long pause, during whcih opiemail actaully appears to have locked up?   Surely it doesn't take that long for a POP server to respond - my desktop machines show a 'no messaages' response within seond or two.

2.  Improved & more informative handling of a POP3 return code which isn't really an error would be a Good Thing.

I'm filing a bug report....

Same problem on Hentges rom on sl5500.

Right, you have a decent amount of info, you've done some work to track down the error - create a bug report! This is exactly the kind of info the author will want to see.
