Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG


"duguru" ???????/???????? ? ???????? ?????????:
...
On WinXP SP2, Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180:

1. Subscribe a newsgroup "szGroupName" under news account A (NewsServerA),
a
"szGroupName.dbx" file is created ok, then unsubscribe it, close OE,
"szGroupName.dbx" file is deleted ok.

2. Restart OE, subscribe the same newsgroup "szGroupName" under news
account
B (NewsServerB), a "szGroupName.dbx" file is created ok.

3. Subscribe the newsgroup "szGroupName" under news account A
(NewsServerA)
again, WOW!!! It uses the same "szGroupName.dbx" file!!!

Then what a mass!

1. Click NewsServerA.GroupFolder, it deletes all messages (from
NewsServerB)
in the folder, and then downloads messages from NewsServerA.

2. Click NewsServerB.GroupFolder, it shows the messages (from
NewsServerA).

3. Unsubscribe one of them, close OE, the "szGroupName.dbx" file is
deleted,
restart OE, click the GroupFolder, it re-creates "szGroupName.dbx" file
and re-downloads messages.

It seems a BUG of OE:

1. When NewsServerA.szGroupName is subscribed, it checks if a
szDbxFileName
record already exists for NewsServerA.szGroupName, if exists, uses
szDbxFileName, if NOT, uses "szGroupName.dbx" (if "szGroupName.dbx"
already
exists in the file directory, uses "szGroupName (1).dbx").

2. When NewsServerA.szGroupName is unsubscribed, the szDbxFileName record
is
not removed!!!

3. When NewsServerB.szGroupName is subscribed, acts as step 1, uses
"szGroupName.dbx".

4. When NewsServerA.szGroupName is subscribed again, acts as step 1, uses
the
previous recorded szDbxFileName="szGroupName.dbx"!!!

The szDbxFileName record can't be removed with unsubscribing szGroupName,
it
can be removed only with deleting the news account (and all news groups
under this account).

I won't to delete all news groups under either account, so I hack this by:

1. Compact all folder (is this the only way to compact Folders.dbx?).

2. Find "szGroupName.dbx" string in Folders.dbx (compacting delete all
unused "szGroupName.dbx" strings, so the found string is the active
record).

3. Change the first "szGroupName.dbx" string to "szGroupNam1.dbx", and the
second string to "szGroupNam2.dbx", it works!

Could someone tell me if this bug has reported and fixed? And has someone
tested this bug on Windows Mail (I have no vista machine)? Why not to
give
a function of customizing the .dbx file names (both newsgroup and mail)?

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

Thank you for your feedback, Ken, I wonder what happened when you
subscribed
news:\\news.cn99.com\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress
in step 3.1?

Hello "duguru",

I followed your instructions again, still cannot find any problem.

Below is your instructions with my coments [in brackets].

Ken
----------------------------------

My suppositions a

1. Verizon does not display any post that has an attachment may be an
expectable result if verizon only supports plain text posts.

2. OE can function properly with multiple instances of the same newsgroup in
one Identity. If you subscribe
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress
(keep msnews and verizon instances), I suppose it will use
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (2).dbx (if you
never subscribed it before since news:\\nntp.aioe.org account is added) and
function ok.

[subscribed, it did use (2) dbx]
[news:\\nntp.aioe.org account is added]
[function okay]

3. OE has a bug with newsgroup dbx file name.

3.1 If you then unsubscribe
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress,
close and restart OE (make sure let OE to remove the unused (2).dbx,
sometimes unused dbx file will be removed immediately after unsubscribing,
sometimes will be removed only after closing OE), subscribe
news:\\news.cn99.com\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress
(or other server fast enough to test), I suppose it will use
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (2).dbx (if you
never subscribed it before since news:\\news.cn99.com account is added) and
function ok (because
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress
has been unsubscribed).

[unsubscribed | close OE | open OE | confirmed news:\\nntp.aioe.org account,
newsgroup and (2) dbx removed]

[subscribed
news:\\news.cn99.com\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress ]
[it did use (2) dbx]
[news:\\news.cn99.com account is added]
[function okay]

3.2 Then you re-subscribe
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress, I
suppose the bug will happen, it will also use
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (2).dbx, and it
will tangle with
news:\\news.cn99.com\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress.

[re-subscribed
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress]

[it used (3) dbx]

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

Thank you for your patience, Ken, I suppose that you do TOO MUCH than I
described.

You did [unsubscribed | close OE | open OE | confirmed news:\\nntp.aioe.org
account, newsgroup and (2) dbx removed].

I described "unsubscribe | close and restart OE | confirm (2).dbx removed",
NOT to delete news:\\nntp.aioe.org account.

If you now delete news:\\nntp.aioe.org account (and newsgroup), delete
news:\\news.cn99.com account (and newsgroup), and redo step 2-3 (only
unsubscribe newsgroup, NOT to delete news account), I suppose you will
reproduce the bug.

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

FYI

I did not delete news:\\nntp.aioe.org , it was automatically removed when I
unsubscribe "microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlook express".

However I see your point and will try the test again, this time assuring
news:\\nntp.aioe.org does not get removed. I think it may have been removed
because it had not been setup thru Tools | Accounts setup wizard.

It will be tomorrow May 13th before I get enough time to make the test.

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

It seems to be another minor bug (or bad design) of OE:

1. The news account added by clicking news:\\nntp.aioe.org or
news:\\nntp.aioe.org\microsoft.public.windows.inet explorer.ie6_outlookexpress,
will be deleted (after closing OE) SILENTLY (without any notification!) when
no newsgroup is subscribed under this account.

2. While the news account added by Account Setup Wizard always keeps unless
you delete it.

3. In normal usage, the account added by clicking news:\\ link has no
difference from the account added by wizard. I have treated clicking news:\\
link as a shortcut of wizard until this dark difference is found.

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

Hi,

When I performed the test this morning my Outlook Express also assigned the
two different news servers to the same dbx file.

First I setup, via wizard, both nntp.aioe.org and news.cn99.com news
servers.

Then subscribed to microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to (2)
dbx.

Unsubscribed, close, then open Outlook Express, confirm newsgroup and (2)
dbx removed. This time nntp.aioe.org was not removed.

Then subscribed to microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for news.cn99.com.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to (2)
dbx.

Then subscribed to microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

This time it's microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is
also assigned to (2) dbx..

when

|

| news:\\nntp.aioe.org does not get removed. I think it may have been
| removed
| because it had not been setup thru Tools | Accounts setup wizard.
|
| It will be tomorrow May 13th before I get enough time to make the test.

Default OE newsgroup .dbx file name BUG

Thank you for your enthusiasm, Ken, Microsoft customer service had asked me
to send an email about this bug to them, if they give some feedback, I
should be glad to share it with you.

Hi,

When I performed the test this morning my Outlook Express also assigned
the
two different news servers to the same dbx file.

First I setup, via wizard, both nntp.aioe.org and news.cn99.com news
servers.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to
(2)
dbx.

Unsubscribed, close, then open Outlook Express, confirm newsgroup and (2)
dbx removed. This time nntp.aioe.org was not removed.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for news.cn99.com.

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is assigned to
(2)
dbx.

Then subscribed to
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress
for nntp.aioe.org.

This time it's microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress is
also assigned to (2) dbx..

Ken
