Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:20:57 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877 Mailbox list caching tracking bug When I try to empy Trash, or users withouth trash folders a trying to flag messages as deleted, we get: Notice: Undefined property: msgno in /var/www/html/horde/imp/mailbox.php on line 915 Wed, 03 May 2006 12:48:07 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19716 I'm not using a trash folder (or hide_deleted) or anything, and I don't get this when marking messages as deleted. I do get some notices somewhat randomly on expunge, but nothing on mark. What set of relevant prefs are you using? Wed, 03 May 2006 14:37:37 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19728 I am almost positive this is due to the new mailbox list caching code. Wed, 03 May 2006 14:43:33 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19732 YES: Return to the mailbox listing after deleting, moving, or copying a message? YES: When deleting messages, move them to your Trash folder instead of marking them as deleted? NO: Use Virtual Trash Folder? INBOX.Trash: Trash folder. However my users are using: YES: Return to the mailbox listing after deleting, moving, or copying a message? NO: When deleting messages, move them to your Trash folder instead of marking them as deleted? NO: Use Virtual Trash Folder? And they see this behaviour sometimes when expunging too. I tried clearing all cache* files without a result. Wed, 03 May 2006 14:52:55 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19740 I'm almost positive the issue is as follows (I've known about this for a week, but haven't gotten aroudn to it yet): In IMP_Message, when performing actions on message(s) everywhere but the message screen, we are passing IMP_Mailbox::updateMailbox() an array of indices. updateMailbox() was originally designed to only update the mailbox when given a single index. I've hackishly "fixed" updateMailbox() to silence errors in the former case, but it isn't updating the mailbox status correctly. This needs to be fixed. Wed, 03 May 2006 15:09:22 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19773 Some more errors after related delete actions: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: findbody() in /var/www/html/horde/imp/lib/IMAP/MailboxCache.php on line 585 Thu, 04 May 2006 14:41:22 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19815 Are you still seeing this after today's commits? Thu, 04 May 2006 23:58:05 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19837 Errors are gone, but I see other strange things. I'm using Trash folder and for example if I detele messages from Spam folder in bunched of 20 from mailbox screen. They are deleted from a cache. But after logging out and logging in back I can still see them in spam folder marked as deleted, and no messages are moved to Trash. Also, when you are in INBOX folder and new mail arrives, new message count near folder name in header increases, but you can't see them in the list. After relogin messages shows up. Fri, 05 May 2006 08:36:15 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19852 One more strange issue. When there is only one message in a folder and you try to delete it from folder list screen, sometimes message is not deleted from server only from the cache. After relogin you can see the message. Fri, 05 May 2006 08:41:45 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19856 I see none of this behavior. I will need your help tracing through IMP_Message:: to figure out why expungeMailbox() is not being called correctly. Bumping down as I can't reproduce this at all. Fri, 05 May 2006 14:42:01 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19884 I should also note I have tested this with mailbox caching on/off, hide deleted on/off, and trash folder on/off, and in normal and search mailboxes. Fri, 05 May 2006 14:45:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19887 I can also run into the described problems: e.g. I had one folder with 5 messages in total. All of them were unseen. I was deleting the first 4 from within the mailboxlist without opening them first. Then I was opening the remaining message and deleting it from the message view. After a logout and a relogin I opened the folder and the first 4 messages reappared but now marked as deleted (They should have gone into the trash folder) Fri, 05 May 2006 17:34:19 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19898 > I can also run into the described problems: > > e.g. > I had one folder with 5 messages in total.

Login to your account from other client and mark some messages as deleted. Logout. 2. Login to IMP. You can see deleted messages. If you try to hit expunge they are not deleted at all. (I think this is because of these messages are not stored in Horde cache, and expungeMailbox() somehow deletes only those messages that are on server AND in cache.). 3. Check couple of those marked as deleted messages and mark them as deleted from IMP. 4. Click Expunge and only marked messages are deleted. Sat, 06 May 2006 11:59:19 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19903 Also after update from CVS couple of hours ago, I see some new errors: PHP Warning: array_diff(): Argument #1 is not an array in /var/www/html/horde/imp/lib/Message.php on line 669 It seems that imap_search not always succeed and returns false. Sat, 06 May 2006 12:01:17 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19904 > Ok this one is reproducable 100% here: > > 1. Login to your account from other client and mark some messages as > deleted. Logout. I spent debugging my IMAP server all morning trough telnet and it seems that my other IMAP client deleted messages and after that automatically expunged. So everything that is seen in IMP as marked as deleted is just not updated mailbox cache. This needs to be fixed. More on this later. Sat, 06 May 2006 12:41:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19906 OK - the important part about this issue is that you are having concurrent accesses to the IMAP server other than IMP. Very important, and the reason I am not seeing this issue. Now that I know where to look, this should be easier to track down. Sat, 06 May 2006 18:05:45 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19918 > Also after update from CVS couple of hours ago, I see some new errors: > > PHP Warning: array_diff(): Argument #1 is not an array in > /var/www/html/horde/imp/lib/Message.php on line 669 > > It seems that imap_search not always succeed and returns false. This issue has been fixed. Sat, 06 May 2006 18:15:38 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19919 When deleting a message which was opened from the "Virtual Inbox" mailboxlist I get the following errors: [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined property: seen in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on line 206 [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined property: seen in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on line 214 [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: setstriplink() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on line 223 When deleting it directly from the "Virtual Inbox" mailboxlist without opening it first everything is fine. I already reported this in bug #3889 which was marked as duplicate of this bug report. But I forgot to mention the two "Undefined property" errors above the "Fatal error" Sat, 06 May 2006 19:37:40 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19920 > [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined property: > seen in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on > line 206 > [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined property: > seen in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on > line 214 > [Sat May 6 21:27:52 2006] [error] PHP Fatal error: Call to > undefined function: setstriplink() in > /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cvs_dev/horde/imp/message.php on line 223 These errors aren't really helpful. They occur anytime we incorrectly update the current mailbox list - and this could be for a variety of reasons. That's why Bug 3889 is marked as a duplicate. I think I will try to add some error catching code in MailboxCache to prevent these ugly PHP errors. However, once we get the mailbox caching sorted out, we should never hit these error messages ever. Sat, 06 May 2006 22:51:30 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19922 > I think I will try to add some error catching code in MailboxCache to > prevent these ugly PHP errors. However, once we get the mailbox > caching sorted out, we should never hit these error messages ever. I think it'd be great to log these at a DEBUG level for now - once it's not happening anymore, we can either remove the logMessage calls, or leave them to make sure they don't recur. :) Sun, 07 May 2006 01:21:09 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19926 Since a cvs update this morning the deleting of messages which were opened from within the "Virtual Inbox" seems to work again. I do not see the "Fatal Error" logs. Sun, 07 May 2006 06:44:02 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t19927 > I think it'd be great to log these at a DEBUG level for now - once > it's not happening anymore, we can either remove the logMessage > calls, or leave them to make sure they don't recur. :) Unfortunately, looking at the code, adding these debug statements won't get us very far since we will still throw a fatal error in mailbox.php or message.php if the data doesn't exists and there is really no way around this outside of "making-up" data to pass back. But I personally haven't seen any of these errors for several days now so I think Phase 1 of the caching code is pretty close.

This has nothing to do with mailbox list caching - this has to do with message caching. This is a known limitation of our current caching system - it was designed so that IMP was the only MUA to access the mailbox. If you can't handle that IMP may not always catch a non-destructive flag on a message done by a foreign MUA, then you should disable message caching in conf.php. Wed, 10 May 2006 06:25:53 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20040 Looking through here, there doesn't appear to be anything left open. This ticket may be reopened if new issues arise with the current mailbox list caching code. Resolving for now. Wed, 10 May 2006 06:27:01 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20043 I must note, that 95% of my users does not use any other mail client. They are using IMP only. But they see some issues too. The most annoying reproducable here like 9 times from 10 is this: 1. User logins to his account. He has 1 new message. 2. He checks the checkbox in message list and clicks Delete in navbar. 3. The message is marked as deleted. 4. User clicks on Purge Deleted and _all_ messages in INBOX are gone. 5. He clicks on Mail entry in sidebar, and all messages are back except for deleted message. I can give you a test account on my webmail if you want. Wed, 10 May 2006 07:03:33 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20044 Emptying mailboxes still doesn't work for me, cache disabled.

In next couple of days I will see how things are going here and let you know if I'll find something. Wed, 10 May 2006 12:31:23 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20050 I think my fixes last night cleared this last set of issues up. Wed, 10 May 2006 20:22:42 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20086 I have the mailbox cache *disabled* and usual the virtual inbox opened. Arriving message are displayed fine in the vinbox view. But sometimes, if go to a folder with some new messages, the messages are not displayed. The new mail count in the header is correct, but I see an old mailbox view. Also, sometimes the (thread) sorting is broken. Both can only be fixed by logging out and in again. Thu, 11 May 2006 11:35:59 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20104 Jan - do you have concurrent clients accessing your IMAP system? Tue, 16 May 2006 17:46:48 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20256 No. Tue, 16 May 2006 17:52:06 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20258 And more important: it shouldn't matter if Idisable the cache.

Thu, 18 May 2006 21:06:43 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20384 > And more important: it shouldn't matter if Idisable the cache. 100% agreed. But my issue is I have not been able to reproduce an incorrect cache update once in the last 2 weeks, with mailbox caching both on and off. So I haven't ignored this ticket - I just don't even know where to begin. Thu, 18 May 2006 21:08:12 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20385 That sounds very unlikely, especially since I use PHP 4.

Does it make sense at all that the search (virtual inbox) returns something different than the regular mailbox view? If so, I can try to track down where IMP is fetching the (incomplete) mailbox list from if I see it the next time.

Never mind. $_arrival doesn't exist in that file anymore - that's why the error was being thrown. Duh, me. Thu, 18 May 2006 21:35:39 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/3877#t20391 Here is a reproduceable scenario: This is with "use Trash folder" on. Open a mailbox -> delete some messages -> open a message -> report it as SPAM Now the message gets reported as SPAM and deleted, the mailbox list now shows the previously deleted messages again, but marked as deleted. They should no show up, because the should have been moved to the trash folder before. Now they are in the trash folder and in the mailbox.

I saw new messages in the virtual inbox from the real inbox, deleted some of them, went to the inbox and didn't see any new messages. The status was correct though.
