Hi!I am trying to get started using the gtk3 development branch of Balsa. I am compiling it with:
./autogen.sh --with-nm=no --with-gnome=no ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-nm=no --with-gnome=no… as I do not have networkmanager installed and compilation failed with some error about GtkCallbackMarshal in libgnomeui before I disabled Gnome support. No the build seems to go well.
However, when I start Balsa and it tries to connect to the two IMAP servers it remembers from the last session (notable Lavabit's), it freezes and will not even redraw the window when I hide-unhide it, leaving it and the server connection popup window blank. This is the the corresponding output of "balsa -D":
IMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] imap4/pop3 ready.
IMAP S: * OK lavabit.com IMAP4rev1 lavad server ready. IMAP C: 1 CAPABILITY IMAP S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 STARTTLS LITERAL+ 1 OK Completed. IMAP C: 2 LOGIN "carlos_franke" (password hidden)IMAP S: 2 NO [ALERT] This user account is configured to require that all IMAP sessions be connected over SSL.
IMAP S: * OK lavabit.com IMAP4rev1 lavad server ready. IMAP C: 3 CAPABILITYIMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] imap4/pop3 ready.
IMAP S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 STARTTLS LITERAL+ 3 OK Completed.From what I understand, everything is "OK"—but it freezes anyway. What is wrong?
Strange enough, this apparently has something to do with the gtk3 branch in particular, as I had built from master before by mistake, leading to completely different behaviour: The underscore in my username (carlos_franke) was placed under the following character like a diacritic in the server connection popup, and this mangled-up username seemed to be used for server authentication as well, as Balsa kept asking me about my password (while trying to authenticate unsuccessfully). If someone is interested in pursuing this, I am happy to help by testing things; although my main interest lies in the gtk3 branch.
Hopefully these are not just peculiarities of Lavabit's IMAP server, as last time*…
