MDR Silently Fails if default folders do not exist — at Version 3

Reported by: Jason Owned by: bga
Priority: low Milestone: R1/alpha2
Component: Servers/mail_daemon Version: R1/alpha1

Description (last modified by phoudoin)

Reproduction:

  1. Installed Haiku Alpha 1.
  2. Setup MDR
  3. Symptoms:
    1. Default Mail folders (inbox and out) did not exist under ~/mail
    2. MDR would not send email without said folders
    3. MDR displayed error message for ~/mail/inbox not existing
    4. MDR did not display error message for ~/mail/out existing
    5. Mail would not send without ~/mail/out folder
    6. Outbox mail would be created in ~/

Workaround:

  • Create 'inbox' and 'out' in ~/mail if they are not created upon Alpha 1 install.

Expected MDR behavior:

  • create any missing folders that exist in its configuration if the folders do not in fact exist.
  • give an error message if the OUTBOX folder doesn't exist.
  • NEVER put mail files in OTHER folders if the folders in the configuration do not exist.

CORRECTION: ~/Mail should read ~/mail
