sieve-Addon cannot connect to sieve server after TB update to version 24

[HolySephi]

Connection worked right before the update. After the update to version 24 the sieve window just tries to connect forever (or loads forever)

There are no messages in the debug console even after turning all sieve debug settings on.

same problem here

[thsmi]

Thunderbird introduced numerous API changes which broke Thunderbird's backward compatibility. So everything above Thunderbird 20 is incompatible with the addons 0.2.2 release.

Try the extensions most recent nightly build. You get it at https://github.com/thsmi/sieve/tree/master/nightly .

There is one outstanding bug ( Issue 4) which needs to be fixed before 0.2.3 will be accepted by Mozilla. The addon uses Thunderbirds restartless api. But this api suffers from a design flaw. It does not implement an asynchronous cleanup method. But such a method is needed when dealing with protocols. Which makes a workaround difficult...

As there's no quick fix it's unlikely that 0.2.3 will be release within the next month. So just stick with the nightly build. It should update automatically to 0.2.3 upon release. I leave this bug open until 0.2.3 is released.

works for me, thx

Great, the nightly works! Keep up your good work!

Also doesn't work on Seamonkey 2.21 and the nightly is apparently not compatible.

[thsmi]

Seamokey support was dropped years ago. Because the user base was tiny / non existent (less than 20 active users) and lots of code e.g. the tabbed interface is incompatible to Thunderbird.

But its an open source project, so feel free to submit a patch to restore Seamonkey compatibility.

Thanks for the nightly build. This also resolved this issue over here.

Please fix the addon for TB 24, we use this addon at work and can't use a nightly build :/

I confirm nightly build 0.2.3d (at least) has fix this issue, that is present as for 0.2.2 respects.

Thanks!

Thank you, the nightly builds works fine. I installed the release version for the fist time a few days ago, and kept looking at what was broken on my server configuration.

This correction should be made available as soon as possible as it may happen to new users, as it happened to me.

build 0.2.3d did the trick with v.24.1.1 on OSX
