wine users - Sep 2004 - Pegasus Mail sometimes says no HD-memory free, but that's not true

Hello together,

I use the localized Pegasus Mail version 4.21c. Sometimes, only during receiving
mails, I'll get an error message (dialog) that on the drive is currently
only very few
memory available. But that's not true, on the drive are many GB free. I have
it also
tested with another windows application (Total Commander), it also shows me the 
correct amount of free space.

The error message alone is not a thing which makes me really big headaches but 
sometimes (upto now I don't know how to reproduce) during receiving emails,
the
header of one or more mail folder files will be destroyed (one file per folder).
In this
folder files the first 128 Bytes will be filled with garbage. The folder name in
Pegasus
Mail will be destroyed and will only contain silly letters. The access to the
mail folder
is now impossible. There will be no mails shown inside of the corresponding mail
folder. The undestroyed remaining folders will be still accessible and have full
functioning.
No problem, if you have made a backup previous :-) after replacing the corrupt
header
with a hex editor and  reconfiguring some file in pegasus mail the folder works
again.
May be these two errors are related???

I've started Pegasus since a couple of weeks with  
WINEDEBUG=warn+all,fixme+all,err+all to see the reason of this problem.

Because I don't think it is a good idea to send the whole debug file to the
list (180
kB), I will try to paste the really interesting straight under this mail.  At,
the moment I
use version 20040716-1.1.
Has anyone else who uses pegasus mail this error message?

Bye,

Timo

I'm a Pegasus Mail user, but not a WINE user.

Pegasus used to have a commmand line parameter to feed it that told it to use
its old drive detection code, instead of David Harris' new drive detection
code. Something about the new drive detection code used to have problems running
in virtual environments, such as under OS/2's version of Windows 3.1.

You might check around and see what that parameter was. It should be listed in
the online help. I don't know if PMail 4.21c still has the option.

I think the "some file" you're talking about is PMail's
"folder.pm" file. There's also a folstate.pmj (IIRC) file that the
PMail v4.x series seems to have a knack for destroying even under Windows.

I guess, they can be related.

Hey, you can fill a bugreport then.  Or at least you can check Bugzilla
for a similar bugs.

IMHO the last line could be essential indicator of the problem.  Lets see 
where "storage:" comes from:

[s2@katleriai wine]$ grep "WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(storage)"
dlls/*/*.c
dlls/ole32/hglobalstream.c:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(storage);
dlls/ole32/stg_bigblockfile.c:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(storage);
dlls/ole32/stg_stream.c:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(storage);
dlls/ole32/storage32.c:WINE_DEFAULT_DEBUG_CHANNEL(storage);

It comes from OLE32.  Lets guess:  you are using builtin dlls of
OLE-subsystem.  If so, I might suggest following:

* set Wine version to "win98",
* install DCOM98,
* then override some dlls to be loaded as native.  

Which ones to override?  I guess generic ones: ole32, oleaut32, rpcrt4.
How to override?  Make another env-variable available to Wine:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" WINEDEBUG=...

If you aren't sure, add "+loaddll" to your WINEDEBUG variable and
rerun
Wine with Pegasus.  This should be enough to fill a nice bugreport, BTW.

No, at the moment there's no similar bug report,...

...but I will wait with the report till I have once again a corrupted mailbox
folder,
to see if that is the same cause. The message box itself is not a really big 
problem.

Hmmh, I've reseted my wine fake drive (deleted it and a new setup via wine) 
and I tried to install dcom98, but this clever install routine means that
I've
already a newer version of dcom98 installed. What should I do?

Ok, I understand :-)
