moving encrypted mails out of Junk folder fails
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Up till quite recently (3.1.2?) encrypted mails couldn't be moved at all, but for a workaround where a different mail is marked and the mouse is used to move the unmarked mail.

This is still (3.1.4) the case in the Junk folder. This is a problem, because I don't receive Junk often and the encrypted content leads Outlook to mistakenly put those mails there. So typically there are only encrypted regular mail(s) in the Junk folder, and I can't move the remaining last mail at all, but for a workaround for the workaround ;)

  • move a regular non-signed, non-encrypted mail to Junk
  • mark it there
  • move the encrypted mail by mouse
  • move the regular mail back

There was a report about this in the past T3956
I tried it out then with a junk folder and for me it worked so I closed the issue as a duplicate of the general moving mail problem.

If you say that it does not work there must have been something wrong with my test. I'll try to test it again with an Exchange server. I'm not sure if I tested with exchange back then.

maybe a setting is also involved. marking the mail in the Junk folder gives:

Thanks. I've never seen that, so my test definitely did not test moving junk mails.

aheinecke added a comment.Nov 5 2018, 4:10 PM

I can reproduce that it won't be moved.

@JJworx I'm curious does it work for you to decrypt the messages in the junk folder? For me it fails.

It just looks like this:

Yes, I also can't decrypt the files there. As Outlook warns about
restricting access to attachments and active contents, the reason is
clear. The mail must be moved elsewhere.

Yes I see the problem and have a fix for it. I'm just trying to make it nice now :-)

The problem is that we get an unexpected internal error when Outlook blocks access to the attachments internally. And because of that error we abort decryption and never register the event handler to catch the move event.

Quick fix would be to abort earlier but then it will show just an empty mail and no indication that it is a crypto mail. So now I'm trying to explicitly detect Junk and add a temporary category like: "GpgOL: Crypto message can't be handled in Junk folder"
So that there is an indication for users that it is in fact a crypto message.

aheinecke changed the task status from Open to Testing.Nov 6 2018, 9:22 AM

Works nicely now. I added a "yellow" warning to indicate that the message is a crypto message that can't be handled by GpgOL in the Junk folder. I see no way to actually decrypt in the Junk folder as we are not allowed to access attachments.

If you like a binary is available under: https://files.gpg4win.org/Beta/gpgol/2.3.2-beta26/ This should also fix the instability when looking at S/MIME mails
