windows 7 32 bit: Could not send your mail, exitcode of gmaildrafter was 2 #42

Closed JHPArizona closed 9 years ago

Just installed using the tvhgooglemapi-0.8.3.msi installer. Tried out using the windows explorer context menu, send to mail recipient. I reliably get this error message. "Could not send your mail, exitcode of gmaildrafter was 2" Image attached. I tried what I found in another issue.

Open DOS prompt, c:>cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\tvhgooglemapi" C:\Program Files (x86)\tvhgooglemapi>java -jar gmaildrafter.jar

Note: in my case, there is only the Program Files folder since installation is 32bit. This command works and opens an empty draft in my gmail tab. I am using chrome with the gmail tab fixer extension. Which, by the way, thank you for pointing this out. I have on different occasions ended up with multiple gmail tabs open which is NOT what I wanted. Hopefully this extension will fix those patience trying occasions.

Based on the command line working, I am making the assumption it has to be something with the tvhgooglemapi.dll, associated files or system permissions or some combination there of.

After testing in cmd prompt, I tried from Explorer on different file types in different folders, all with same result. Using jpeg file, I was asked what size to send the image in, but after accepting default size, gmaildrafter error was displayed.

I am willing to do any testing you need. A note, I did not reboot the system since it did not ask for it and since the gmaildrafter.jar is working as expected, at least from cmd prompt.

Could you restart just to make sure? The error messages are caused by IO exceptions, which is a bit odd to occur when called from another application but not from the command prompt. Do you have a local firewall or antivirus running that could be blocking it?

JHPArizona commented 9 years ago

Tried restart, send to mail was the first 'app' I tried and same error result. Of course I have a firewall and antivirus, not safe to use Windows on Internet without. I am running AVG with realtime protection enabled and Ad-Aware with realtime protection off (just manual scan). Firewall is MS OS. I disabled both and firewall all at same time and still same problem.

Try to Update your Java to the latest version if its not already. I had this happen on a laptop that had Java 7 Update 75. It wouldn't work till it was updated to the latest release.

Thanks Ted! That fixed it. I was running Version 8.45 but installed the latest 8.51. I also allowed it to remove 6.xx which may or may not have had an affect on the problem. I am able to use send to from the context menu.
