Here's a duly censored snippet starting seven minutes before a short
write error (or longer, since the previous entry is from 08:57:33). aerc
was idle in the inbox of account1, and another minute after the initial
error continues to short-write until I notice and quit the program.

Yes, I accept!

No, I'm on a desktop and only sleep the monitor. The computer is either
on or off.

I've got it writing to a logfile now -- I can't reliably reproduce it so
it's probably going to take a few days or so.

Nope, wired fiber. I'm often on a VPN and that occasionally goes
sideways to the point that I notice other connections (e.g. HTTP)
interrupted or degraded until I reconnect, but I definitely see short
writes in aerc _without_ HTTP etc issues.

short write 7 months ago

From Dian M Fay to ~rjarry/aerc-discuss

I sometimes see this error ("accountname: short write") while idle in
the list view, but it also occasionally interrupts email sending --
nothing in Sent, reply flag not set, no evidence anything ever happened.

Only IMAP accounts, I think I've seen it with multiple providers
including gmail but I haven't been tracking it systematically.

packaged for Arch 10 months ago

From Dian M Fay to ~renerocksai/aercbook

hi there! Thank you for developing this, I've wanted a dead-simple
address book for aerc for a while now. I just added 0.1.2 to Arch's user
repository at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aercbook-bin .

A couple of suggestions as well, I don't know if I'll have time in the
near future to try hacking on them myself:

- remove unmatchable entries from the list and free up <tab> to move to
  the next field if none remain (when I copy+pasted the mailing list
  address into this message it still displayed the finder and wanted to
  include one of my contacts)
- parse shortcuts in the book filepath ("~/.config/aerc/book.txt") or
  use XDG_CONFIG_HOME somehow; I almost always start aerc from the home
  directory so it's unlikely to be a problem but it is a potential weird

Yes I did -- that worked, thank you!

"Invalid credentials (Failure)" message with gmail account 1 year, 3 months ago

From Dian Fay to ~rjarry/aerc-discuss

aerc has started failing to connect to gmail in the past week or so. My config
files haven't changed, my (long but otherwise unremarkable at 32 alphanumeric
characters) password hasn't changed, other IMAP accounts are completely fine.
I've tried with 0.9.0 and with the current master 83e0e2638d to no avail.

I set a breakpoint in aerc/worker/imap.(*IMAPWorker).connect(); the imapConfig
object looks correct, but I did notice one possible problem. Stopped at line 78
(`if w.config.oauthBearer.Enabled`, which it isn't -- I'm using plain imaps) I
can `print password` and see my password; at the c.Login call on line 83 this
no longer works, and I see `(unreadable could not find loclist entry at
0x1d73ea for address 0x84fab7)`.

Here's my suitably censored accounts.conf section:

Thanks, I'll try that out!
