Hi,


When sending mail, I get this warning:

WARNING: Problem sending mail: File or folder does not exist - <path/to/maildir/sent/folder>/tmp/1275359009.7145703845.sysopweg:2,S

However, the mail was sent (and did arrive), but it was not saved as a 
sent messages in my sent-mail maildir folder (which is totally empty).

Any ideas about how to solve/diagnose this?


TIA,

Erik

Sup version?  Ruby version?

That'll help get the ball rolling for diagnosing things.

Thanks

Is the above <path/to/maildir/...> bit something you did or is it
actually part of the error message?  What is the value of sent_source
in your config.yaml?

This is normal.

<path/to/maildir/sent/folder> is what I replaced the actual path given in 
the error message with (it was /home/equaeghe/Mail/sent); it now does seem 
a useless modification

:sent_source: maildir:/home/equaeghe/Mail/sent

Ah. Can I change it so that it does save sent mails? Or should I 
explicitly set Fcc when sending mail?


Best,

Erik

And a dumb question from me: /home/equaeghe/Mail/sent does contain the
maildir subfolders cur, new and tmp?

> :sent_source: maildir:/home/equaeghe/Mail/sent

Ok, this looks fine as long as /home/equaeghe/Mail/sent is a proper
maildir setup.

Sorry, I meant normal in the sense that sending the mail and storing
mail in the sent source are two separate (non-atomic) actions.  When
you hit the send key, the message is dumped into $sendmail for
transport.  It's then written to the sent source.  These are
independent.  One may succeed while the other fails.

Thanks
-Ben

Just a guess, but according to NewUserGuide.txt the mailbox
URIs start with maildir:// or mbox://.  Therefore try:

    :sent_source: maildir:///home/equaeghe/Mail/sent

Note the two extra slashes.

HTH,
Sebastian

I did not and that fixed it. I assumed those would be created as-needed.


Thanks,

This likely stems from the sup philosophy of being a read-only tool
(sent being an exception).  I think this should be changed...maybe
only for the source designated as Sent?  Thoughts?
