unity-mail exits silently for apparently no reason

[klonuo]

Some days ago, I noticed that I'm not notified about incoming mails, and it turned out that unity-mail, although run at start-up, wasn't running (indicator wasn't there)

After witnessing this couple of times, I thought to run it from terminal and see if there will be some message when unity-mail disappears. There was indeed a message and here it is:

-----------------------------------------------------------
command: EXAMINE => socket error: EOF
unity-mail: ImapLib error occured in connection #0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/unity-mail", line 716, in <module>
    UnityMail()
  File "/usr/bin/unity-mail", line 419, in __init__
    loop.run()
KeyboardInterrupt
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea how KeyboardInterrupt might have happened, and happens after running unity-mail for some undefined time

I thought to report also my unity-mail version, but there seems to be another bug - on line 475 in /usr/bin/unity-mail this line:

print('Unity Mail, version %d' % app_version)

'app_version' variable is string and formater asks for number. This is the string: 'Unity Mail, version 0.9.1.2' on Ubuntu 11.04

I know about it. This is a regression introduced in 0.9, but I don't know yet what can cause that KeyboardInterrupt's. The latest version has a handler for such KeyboardInterrupt's, but it doesn't work always.

It seems that you use not the most recent version (0.9.1.2). In this version, line 419 is "client.close()". And also there exists a handler (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/731958/). I will now improve that handler a bit because when some SSL errors occur, all connections must be reset.

Regarding crash on version display - I've committed a fix now.

Done!

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

The fix will be now available in my test ppa (ppa:mitya57/test1, unity-mail version 0.9.3).
You can also download the .deb from https://launchpad.net/~mitya57/+archive/test1/+packages and test if it works fine.

I run it for some hours without issue, so I guess you nailed it. Thanks for quick fix

As for version I was running before, I don't know - I use this PPA and Update Manager and sure I didn't touch the code. Except for %s in version report

Cheers
