Subject: Folder Closed Due To Access Error after Answering EMail and updateing answer flag with Pine 4.41. Did anybody see this before?

Hi,

after just installing PINE 4.41 I always get a "Folder Closed Due To Access
Error" on my IMAP Inbox folder after I reply to an EMail.

Here are more details:

- My system is a SPARC/Solaris 8 System. We use IMAP for receiving EMails.

- Here's the sequence of events:

  1. I Read my EMail.
  2. Select an EMail for reply using "R". I get the editor (vi) as usual and
     edit the reply message.
  3. After sending out the reply message, I get the "Updating Answered Flags"
     message.
  4. Most of the Time, I get the "Folder Closed Due To Access Error"
     immediately, however, sometimes I get no error, but as soon as I try to
     do something else (like reading another message or saving a message) I
     get the above error or the program offers me to create a folder that is
     supposed to already exists. In any case, the connection to the IMAP
     server breaks just after replying to a message and updating the "Answered"
     flag.
  5. After re-opening the Inbox, the messages I replyed to are correctly
     marked as "Answered".

- My impression is that something goes wrong with the connection just after
  updating the "Answered" flag on a message.

- Setting the quell-folder-internal-msg feature did not affect this problem.
  I also tried different variants of setting folder names such as including
  user="xxx" in the folder etc. with no effect.

- This problem did not happen with the previous version of Pine that I used
  before, which was 4.2 .

Did anybody else see this problem? Is this already known as a bug? Is there
a quick way to fix it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
   Constantin

Hi,

> problem for me. Look for the patch in my web page (address below) and look

thanks for the patch.

I also got the announcement for Pine 4.42. It compiled just fine and now
answering EMails works perfectly. I'm using the corrected Answer function
as we speak, er write.

Thanks a lot for your help and the new Pine version!
