I just found this trying to figure the same thing out. I'm seeing the
same behavior on wezterm and vanilla xterm in Arch/Wayland, no
multiplexing involved.

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 1 year, 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 1 year, 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!
