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.

Re: short write 2 years ago

From Dian M Fay to ~rjarry/aerc-discuss

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 2 years 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.

Yes I did -- that worked, thank you!

"Invalid credentials (Failure)" message with gmail account 2 years 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:
