After instaling the alpha 2 (GCC") over the alpha 1 (GCC4 hybrid) “Mail” cannot save the preferences anymore. It wont show in the deskbar after restart. I have to restart it manually.
I tried a clean install…
no way…
Start mail services n startup dont work with haiku R1Alpha2…
Hi Bruno!
So starting the mail_daemon manually works and puts the mailbox icon into the Deskbar tray?
Can you quit Deskbar via ProcessController and then “Restart Desktop” from the TeamManager (CTRL+ALT+DEL)?
Are the icons in the tray there again?
Have you tried deleting ~/config/settings/Deskbar_security_code and see if that helps?
When the icon doesn’t appear, is the mail_daemon running nevertheless (check with ProcessController). If so, how about quitting mail_daemon and restarting it?
I’m just brainstorming here… I don’t have this problem on my alpha2.

Yes exact…

Yes the icons are all there…
Have you tried deleting ~/config/settings/Deskbar_security_code and see if that helps?
After reboot same problem… I have to check the box in the preference tab of Mail.
After reopen the app(E-Mail in preferences) the checkbox will be unchecked again… seems it does not save the setting…

Works as expected I can close and restart the mail_demon and the icon shows up again.
Nothing helps… maybe I should put the mail_demon in the boot/launch- Folder?
hmmm… It works… if i put mail_daemon in the launch-Folder… but strange solution…
All very strange… When you say “clean installation”, have you initialized the partition? Else the home folder is preserved.
Also, the other settings of the accounts etc. are preserved between boots? Even stranger…
No idea what’s wrong… You could try if “checkfs” reports something interesting. Also, if you un/check the checkbox, does the modified time of ~/config/settings/Mail/new_mail_daemon change when you click “Apply”?
Maybe you should file a ticket with everything you found out…
