Mail Notification will crash when i try to add a new mailbox

[Tom Zhou]

When I click the "Add" button in "General" tab, Mail Notification crash.

ubuntu 10.10
architecture: xi386
kernel: 2.6.3523
Gnome -2.32.0
"Figaro password manager" is running in system tray
Weather Report 2.30.0 running
Clock 2.30.2 running

There was a time i had it working just fine in 10.04

I get the same problem when clicking on the "add" button on the "General" tab. The application silently crashes when clicking on that button to add my first mailbox.

mail-notification 5.4-25.fc14
Fedora 14 - 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.x86_64 kernel
Gnome 2.32.0-2

This is the output from the --enable-info parameter -
$ mail-notification --enable-info

There does not seem to be an .mail-notification directory or configuration file in the home user's directory.

This was installed from the Fedora updates repository through yum, so it should have met all the required criteria for other packages. A separate file is attached listing the packages required/installed.

The issue seems to be with a required icon missing from the currently-selected icon theme and mail-notification not having a safe fallback option.

I resolved the issue on my computer by temporarily changing the icon theme to "Humanity-Dark" using the Appearance dialog, at which point i was able to create a new account and edit its properties without problems. After this, mail-notification would run normally, even with the icon theme reverted to the normally used one ("elementary Xubuntu dark" in my case), as long as no attempt to add or edit mailboxes was made.
