Public bug reported:
We use the xfce4-mailwatch-plugin to keep track of multiple email
accounts with multiple free email providers. It used to work brilliantly
when we started out with the plugin watching only 2 Hotmail accounts
through imap. The connection data we used was as indicated by Hotmail
themselves (the imap address, SSL connection through 993). After adding
an third Hotmail address we noticed that there new mail in the third
Hotmail inbox were not detected/ shown. All connection data that was
used was identical to the first 2 Hotmail boxes. Adventurous we added
another email account, this time at the university server, also using
imap. This one functioned flawlessly. However, when we tried adding an
additional three GMX accounts, the plugin failed to connect and show the
arrival of new mail.
We are not sure whether the intermittent performance of the xfce4
-mailwatch-plugin is due to an issue in the plugin itself, or a conflict
with the actions it tries to perform. We think though it might be
connected to the plugin though since only some, and not all accounts
with the same provider, with the same connection data, are giving "New
Mail" indications upon the arrival of new messages. We did test setting
the "Check for new messages" time to various, non-overlapping values,
but that didn't change anything.
Hence the questions:
- Can anybody else share how many accounts they are watching with this plugin
(and it still works as it should).
- Has anybody else seen the behaviour we describe here?
- Any idea what might cause it?
- Any solutions?
- Is it really a bug in the xfce4-mailwatch-plugin and should it be fixed?
Cheers!
