Debian :: Iceweasel / Click On An E-mail Link - Icedove Not Open
Feb 27, 2011
I use LXDE and in the "preferred applications" I set icedove and iceweasel as preferred mail and internet applications but when I click on an e-mail link(craigslist in my case) not only does Icedove not open, but in Iceweasel HUNDREDS of blank tabs open up rapidly and it is difficult to kill the program. This is unlike any problem I've ever encountered so I'm not going to pretend I have a clue here. As I am familiar with Thunderbird in an other distro I would prefer to stay with IceDove.

Debian Jessie
Iceweasel 38.2.0
Icedove 31.8.0
Iceweasel and Icedove spontaneously crash, sometimes individually, sometimes together. Upon restart they will both run, but the amount of time they run before crashing again decreases with each crash. The way to extend use of these programs is to reboot Debian. (I typically run my computer 24/7 to run community service programs.)
How do I get these programs to run without spontaneously crashing?

I am recent convert from Arch GNU/Linux after deciding that it's free software or bust. I'm enamored by your project (free software + large user base + stable releases supported for many years = precious, one-of-a-kind distro) and hope I can soon start contributing.
Anyway, I'm on Debian 8.4 with MATE, only main repo enabled, all packages up-to-date. I turn on ibus (via a keyboard shortcut that runs "ibus-daemon -dx") when I need to type in Portuguese or Esperanto. When I'm done, I quit ibus either by right-clicking its tray icon and choosing "quit" or by using a keyboard shortcut to "killall ibus-daemon". Unfortunately, regardless of how I quit ibus, iceweasel and icedove crash every time ibus quits.
I tried running ibus with "ibus-daemon -d" instead of the above command. Now there are no crashes when I quit ibus BUT iceweasel and icedove ignore ibus altogether (i.e., I cannot type special characters--keyboard input is as if ibus were off).
How to start and stop ibus in a way that both a) causes it to work in all applications including iceweasel and icedove AND b) iceweasel and icedove don't crash when ibus quits?

I have this little problem with my keyboard. When in Firefox, I have to ctrl+click a link about three times before there is any reaction and a new tab is opened with that link. There is not much chance that there is some physical impediment in the keyboard because all of my other keyboard shortcuts involving ctrl work fine, and I have disassembled and cleaned the keyboard on my netbook (eeepc 1008ha).

Alright ... recently switched from Ubuntu with FF 4.0 to Debian with Iceweasel which I had to upgrade to 4.0 since I really liked the way it worked on Ubu 10.10 ... but I'm having some really strange rendering issues. Flash is not a problem at all, works fine on all flash sites that I've checked out. Some sites though, including this Debian forum, do not show everything in the Iceweasel browser window.
For example, sometimes I'll be browsing on a page with huge chunks of white, clearly indicating that "something" should be in those spaces. When I look at those same pages with Chrome or Opera, everything is filled the way it should be ... all content is displaying properly.
On some sites, like this forum, the rendering is even worse because not only do some items not show up, but in addition most of the links don't work at all. For example, if I use Iceweasel 4.0 to look at the board index of this forum, I can't click on any of the links, not the links in the main sections anyway. If I open up Chrome (that's what I'm using to write this) or Opera, the problem is gone.
What the heck is going on, does anyone know? Is this an Iceweasel bug? Am I missing some package update? I'd hate to have to switch my preferred browser just because this weirdness is going on. At first I thought it was a fluke, specific to a site or two only, but at this point I've seen these rendering issues on about 10 sites ...

When I download a file, lets say text file I want it to open straight away in iceweseal.So in the "open With" dialog box if I choose iceweseal it is not opening the file in it. It just downloads the text file.

When I try to open two times Iceweasel I get this:Iceweasel is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Iceweasel process, or restart your system.I am very suprprised, because in Windows xp I can open mozilla firefox 2,3 or more times.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 with Linux 3.16.0-0 (x86_64) from backports and XFCE. I am using nautilus for the default file manager because thunar is not able to connect to server. My problem is that when i want to upload a file from iceweasel, the bookmarked webdav location on nautilus is not shown. This mean that iceweasel doesn't use nautilus? If so how to change this? Nautilus is checked in the default programs.

Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory.
but only for my userid. What home directory resources are required to start?

I have a folder under Inbox in an email account, let's call it folder A, under that one I have subfolder B.
I cannot move emails delivered to Inbox to B, I can however move them to A.
When attempting to move them to B I get error:OVERQUOTA, not enough disk space.
This account is barely using 10% of allocated space, and using webmail I can move the email. but it will not show in icedove.
I have checked that subfolder is indeed subscribed, and I have no problem moving email around in other accounts.

If I close IceDove and then start it again, I get the message that it's already running. Although the GUI has gone, icedove-bin is still running.

I have been using icedove for quite sometime. Now I feel I need to also use the flexibility that mutt allows. In such a case, is there a way that mutt can read icedove mails, maybe via some plugin or other. I do not want to do the import icedove mails to mutt as there would be duplication of metadata and space.

When clicking in an e-mail on an http link the web browser doesn't open. I use Opera as standard web browser and Icedove ask me every time how to open. I have already done: update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" and choosen for Opera but this doesn't work. Is there an alternative way to tell Icedove that is must open weblinks with Opera.

I have had to revert my VM to a previous image (did something to screw it up) anyway I have to reinstall icedove into my VM and I noticed after doing: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install icedove that icedove can't seem to be found in the libraries anymore and simply wont install.

I'm using Debian stable wheezy and icedove 31.5.0.
I have many different accounts set up on my icedove and sometimes I don't remember on which account I received the specific email I'm looking for, so I would like to be able to search through all my folders (say, absolutely all folders: all accounts, inbox, sent, trash, drafts, etc...).
Neither the quick filter toolbar, nor the "Search message" (Ctrl-Shift-F) feature seem to allow this. Now that's where the brand new shining "Global Search" (Ctrl-K) feature should be useful. However it does not seem to support partial match. So for instance if I'm looking for someone named "Lebenhaus GrossGrabenstein" but only remember that his name contains "Gross", the search through global search will return no result.
I'm pretty sure it was possible to do a proper search (with partial matching) accross all mails in previous versions of icedove, but I cannot find it anymore.
Right now the only workaround I have is to do a "grep -R" on my ~/.icedove folder, which is not very efficient and not flexible at all...

I recently reduced my /home by shrinking the LV and creating a new FS on /home. By this I deleted all data in /home of course, which is no problem. Though when I start Icedove now, I can't get past the welcome screen.
There is an input field to search for a provider for a new free mail account and 2 more buttons to either use an existing account or skip the whole wizard.
No matter what I enter or what button I press, the welcome wizard window stays put. Nothing works. Clicking the buttons turns them dark for the moment but nothing happens.
I did a Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure on the package, have removed Icedove with apt's purge option, deleted the cached installation .deb etc., did an autoclean and so on... but no way to get past this welcome wizard at the startup.
The only way to get out there is to kill the process.

I cannot seem to find the keyboard commands to unlock the desktop in Debian Squeeze. What happens, is that when I try to open attachments in Icedove, without fail, the whole desktop locks up. I cannot access the terminal, as the mouse is frozen. In older versions, I used to use Ctrl Alt Backspace, on the keyboard and simply restart the desktop, but that command has no effect when using Squeeze apparently. I am running the amd 64 bit version if that helps at all.

I'm using Squeeze and icedove and iceweasel and I've installed the package linux-image-2.6.36-2.dmz.2-liquorix-686. It works fine on my Dell 1521 Inspiron laptop with only one exception. If I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wired internet connection I'm fine... if I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wifi connection everything is fine... but if I happen to forget to connect to a wifi connection, and I'm in a situation where a wired connection is not available, I can start iceweasel (it doesn't do anything constructive), but checking my mail with icedove (simply starting the program) crashes my computer.
If I boot up with the 2.6.32-5 kernel, the one that's in the regular debian repository, I can not duplicate the crash. Somewhere I read that the liquorix kernels are optimized for a desktop computer. Is this my problem? Is it something else?
During the crash my screen goes to a text console and I see syslogd messages on the screen -- which I cannot reproduce here.

So when I click Places in the Main Menu and then any directory like Desktop or Documents or Pictures the Movie Player starts, and all the files that the directory contains are in the playlist. The only way around is to click Computer which would bring me into the file manager as normal.

I am running KDE 3.5 Hardy Ubuntu and have encountered an odd window switch to new window view problem. When I click to open a web link in any Thunderbird email it will open Firefox but it stays on the current Thunderbird window. I have to manually click the FF on the task bar to switch and view it. Maybe it's a focus issue....not sure what focus really means. It also seems to do the same with other programs too.

My system is Debian Jessie,KDM,the icedove version is 38.6.0.
I used the Theme Font &Size Changer 44.2 add-on to configure the mail list font size.
I have 2 users,the add-on only worked well on one user. For another user,it could installed, but didn't show on the main view and could not set font size either.

I would like to have Icedove display the number of unread messages in the task/window bar when both active or minimized; note I am not interested in a system tray solution just yet. There must be a hack to do this right? Would it involve recompiling Icedove?

I'm using icedove with the calendar extension. Since quite some time there is a pending update from 31.7 to 31.8 which is held back by apt:
Code: Select all> apt --installed list icedove iceowl-extension
Listing... Done
icedove/testing,now 31.7.0-1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 31.8.0-1~deb8u1]
iceowl-extension/testing,now 31.7.0-1 amd64 [installed,upgradable to: 31.8.0-1~deb8u1]
> sudo apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
[code]....
Seems like the problem lies with the package libvpx1. The correct version (>= 1.3) seems to be installed but under the name libvpx2.
Code: Select all> sudo apt install icedove
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
icedove : Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.3.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
> apt list --installed | grep libvpx
libvpx2/testing,now 1.4.0-4 amd64 [installed,automatic]
>
What can be done, or should the dependency in the icedove package be updated?

This began after I deleted my gnome configuration files. I logged out, logged back in, and Firefox and Icedove autostarted like they are supposed to. Firefox asked me if I wanted it to be the default browser, (which it was before), and I indicated yes. Now, whenever I click links in Icedove, a new Firefox window (rather than a new tab) opens and loads my homepage instead of the correct website. I've tried changing my default browser and then changing it back with xfce settings; Icedove opens links in Firefox regardless of the default browser setting. I've tried various changes to the setting
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http (and https) with gconf-editor:
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin %s (this was the setting when I first opened gconf-editor)
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%s"
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%u"
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%U"
None had any effect.I know that the urls in my e-mails are not the problem because the correct site loads when I copy and paste them.

Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.

I am having trouble getting evolution to work properly with my imap server. It won't show any messages. Icedove works fine, though. I'd rather use evolution because of the calendar. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The IMAP server is hosted by network solutions. I have screenshots of both clients. I've blacked out a few things for privacy.
Here are screenshots of evolution as configured:
Here are screenshots of icedove's configuration:
