About:
Althea is an IMAP email client for X that uses the GTK widget set. It was built with the IMAP protocol in mind in order to avoid many of the pitfalls experienced by POP clients that added IMAP support. Althea allows easy access to a nearly unlimited number of servers, and has a very small memory footprint. As of version 0.5.0 Althea also supports IMAP over SSL.

Broken
by Exvor - Jan 16th 2006 14:23:47
This program no longer compiles with current gcc or libraries.
may be due to not listing program dependencies. Pleaes remeber if you are
using or accessing a non standard library that you are not includeing with
your tarball please list them do not assume they are included with every
distro.

Althea managed to hard lock my Redhat 7.1. I would
say that it set a new record; less than 5 minutes from
first install to total expungement from my system. I'll
check back when you get to release 1.
BTW you need to provide for other than the default
SMTP port also.
Keep trying ;-)

That's a rather odd thing for a user program which does not access any low
level functions to do. Could you provide some additional information, such
as your kernel version, X version, what you were doing when it froze and if
the problem was reproducable? If you are running a new kernel and the
problem persists, sending a log of the panic (if there is one) to the
kernel hackers may be in order.

I have actually seen things somewhat similar to what is described above.
it doesn't in fact crash X. What it does, when the GTK application is
blocking (for network traffic,) is that all of X stops listening to input.
(including trying to kill X using [ctrl][alt][backspace]) If you were
trying to use althea over a modem link (I don't think I have ever done
that) that might result in a very long pause... However, a user app
shouldn't be able to do that... so I think perhaps the X-free people should
be informed, as it could be used as a denial of service type attack... or
perhaps more....

X
by Matthew Strait - Dec 29th 2001 01:10:08
Can you get out of it with ctrl-alt-F#? If so, it's still a bad problem,
but not quite as bad, since you can kill X and start over instead of power
cycling without a sync.
Does it only happen for certain versions of X and does it always happen
with those versions or is it random? If it is consistant and the versions
of X that it locks are current, then I agree that the X developers should
be told about it.
