[Nevermind] New Claws mail problems

Just yesterday, I ran into a couple weird issues running claws-mail. I've been using it for years without a problem but suddenly... well, you know the drill.

Anyway, the first problem should be easy, as I vaguely remember fixing it early in my claws-mail career. When I delete a message (either via the Del key, Ctrl-D or Message->Move To Trash, all it does is gray out the title in the message list. Then when I change folders, claws-mail says Process Mark - Some marks are left. Process them? And if I hit yes, it does finally move the deleted messages to the trash. Now, like I said, I think I fixed this before, a long time ago. I have no idea why it has cropped up again and I don't remember how to fix it.

But a bigger problem is that bogofilter has stopped working. Worse, it hangs when claws-mail runs it, thus hanging claws-mail. I tried running claws-mail with the --debug option, but it doesn't show anything interesting - just stopping when it runs bogofilter:

hooks.c:90:unregisted hook 1 in 'msginfo_update'
bogofilter.c:842:|bogofilter -s -b ...

I had to turn it off to continue getting mail, but even if I hit the Mark As Spam, it hangs claws-mail. Anyone had or have this problem? I'm trying to get signed up to the claws-mail mailing list, but no luck yet.

No, we don't. What is 'suddenly'? When did this change? Was it with an update? Claws-mail in the repos was updated just under a month ago - is that when it started? Or did it start after your first update within the last month? If so, did you merge pacnew files? Or did you try downgrading to see if it changed with the new version?

Well, I opened with "Just yesterday" - so it has been working fine up until yesterday. And I update pretty much every day, so as far as I know nothing updated. Checking the pacman.log file from the past week, I don't see anything interesting, unless it is the gtk update. bogofilter was updated Oct 2013 and, as you mention, claws-mail was updated on 4-30 of this year.

Well, just never mind. Both problems are fixed.

1] There's an option in Configuration -> Preferences -> Display -> Summaries that immediately executes deletes and moves. That option has been around for quite some time but it seems to have gotten unchecked for me. Maybe due to a messed up config file due to the bogofilter hang.

2] Speaking of which, it seems to have gone away. I did another update today, including updating various -git packages. Not sure if that's what did it, but things are better now. Weird.
