[5.0.0.68] Work-Around - Cannot re-create General Email account

Bug Reports
6

Would you be eager to gather logs ? If so, you can do the following:

  • make the mail daemon log its actions to a file, edit ~/.config/QtProject/Messageserver.conf so [FileLog] entry is enabled and provide a writable path, like
[FileLog]
Enabled=1
Path=~/qmf.log

then restart it with systemctl --user restart messageserver5.

  • not necessary, but in a terminal you can follow live what is written in the log file with tail -f ~/qmf.log. When you don’t want to observe the log anymore, you can abort the tail command with Ctrl+C.
  • try to recreate the account in the setting application. It will trigger a communication with the mail server to validate your credentials and retrieve the basic structure of your mail box.

Don’t hesitate to copy-paste here parts of the log you feel are relevant to understand your issue (I don’t remember if username is anonymised, but password surely is hidden in the log).
