Folder settings are lost with restart

[fdellwing]

Version: 0.3.0 DEB
TB: 68.10.0 x64
Linux: Kubuntu 18.04 x64

The addon does only count new mails in the Inbox not every new mail in the account. Please change that behaviour as 99% of my mails will be sorted directly into folders.

[Ximi1970]

Please have a look at the preferences of the plugin (TB-> Tools -> Addons -> SysTray-X -> "..." -> Preferences -> tab "Mail" -> Accounts) and select all the folders you need to be checked. The default behavior is indeed to check the inbox only.

[fdellwing]

That is a bit unintuitive. Could you give us an "auto subscribe" function that we can enable for folders? Now if I create a new folder, I need to manually add it to the addon, although I already have the parent directory added.

[fdellwing]

I also found a real bug, the folder settings are lost after closing and reopening TB.

[Ximi1970]

Did you press the save button after you selected the folders?

[fdellwing]

Yes, otherwise it would not change to show the unread mails at all. But currently I have to do it every time I bootup the computer again.

I am a bit confused on what Systray-X version your are using. You say 0.3.0 DEB. Are you using the script installer for debian 10 for Kubuntu? There is a special version for all Ubuntu versions called xUbuntu. There is also a repository you can use.

I also cannot reproduce the save problem you have. Did you previously try/use the older SysTray-X versions?

[07:48 root@mb-fade fade] > apt-cache policy systray-x
systray-x:
  Installiert:           0.3.0
  Installationskandidat: 0.3.0
  Versionstabelle:

And no, I just switched to TB 68 and therefore from FireTray to SysTray-X.

1. I have the following set:
   • Minimize to tray, method 1
   • Minimize on close
   • Default Thunderbird
   • KDE integration (Hide)
   • Custom Icon
   • Display unread message count
   • Black
   • 18
2. I have 2 Accounts in my TB, on the first I would like to subscribe all subfolders and on the second only the Inbox.
3. I set that and click save
4. Taskbar symbol with correct count shows
5. File -> Close
6. Reopen TB
7. Folder settings gone

Oke, will update my Kubuntu image and check it again. And I am going to investigate if I can implement the automatic add of a newly created directory when the parent dir is selected.

I have recreated the issue with a blank Kubuntu 18.04 live-CD and made a snapshot from the thunderbird profile folder. If you contact me on Twitter, I can send you the things.

https://github.com/Ximi1970/systray-x/issues/40#issuecomment-671744502 I have added the auto add feature but it is still not in develop or a release. Hopefully this week.

Sorry no twitter for me, you can send a mail to: ximi.github@gmail.com Thought the email address was already visible but it was not...Added it to my profile. Thnx fir the info!

I confirm this bug. After Tb restart only unread mail in Inbox is displayed regardless previously set folders.

System: Opensuse Tumbleweed Thunderbird 78.5.1 (64 bit) Systray-x 0.6.1

[fdellwing]

Problem is gone with TB78 for me.

[atomGit]

confirming settings lost on TB restart - i suspect possibly many of the reports of STX not working may be due to this

TB 78.12.0 STX 0.7.0 Manjaro Linux

[Ximi1970]

TB changed several storage things that probably caused the settings lost. Please try the new reset button in the TB STX preference page to remove all old settings that my cause some problems. But you need to setup all things again afterwards.

As soon as a distro decides to upgrade TB to version 91+ all settings will get lost again. The limitations on the old storage method I used will then be enforced and I needed to switch the storage type.
