Hey folks,

this is a cross post from the Symbian C++ Network forum. Because my problem is related to Python as well, I decided to post it in this group too.

I wrote a messaging library that uses the Symbian Messaging System to send SMS, MMS, and email. The library is used as a backend for some python scripts.
While sending SMS and MMS works like a charm, sending emails is giving me headaches. I'm sure you can help.

The problem is that the CMsvOperation created by CBaseMtmUi::CopyToL never finishes. The symptom is as follows:
- the msg is created
- and sent
- during this, an infobox pops up saying "Establishing connection via <ASP>" (translation from German - so it might be different in the English version) and never disappears. The python console is blocked. When I use python over a BlueTooth connection I still can enter commands, but after executing a CMsvOperation::Cancel the whole python process dies.

I'm glad for any help,
thanks in advance

Lukas

My sending code:


TInt CxMSBackend::sendSMTPL() {
CLog::logL( _L("CxMSBackend::sendSMTPL +") );

CSmtpClientMtm* smtpMtm = STATIC_CAST(CSmtpClientMtm*, iMtm );
CMtmUiRegistry* mtmUiRegistry = CMtmUiRegistry::NewL(smtpMtm->Session(), 1000000);
CBaseMtmUi* baseMtmUi = mtmUiRegistry->NewMtmUiL(*smtpMtm);

TMsvSelectionOrdering ordering;
ordering.SetShowInvisibleEntries(ETrue);// SMTP services are invisible
ordering.SetGroupByMtm(ETrue);
CMsvEntry* entry1 = CMsvEntry::NewL(*iSession, KMsvRootIndexEntryId, ordering );
CMsvEntrySelection* rootChildren = entry1->ChildrenWithMtmL(KUidMsgTypeSMTP);

if (rootChildren->Count() == 0)
return KErrNotFound;

CMsvEntry* entry2 = iSession->GetEntryL( KMsvGlobalOutBoxIndexEntryId );
smtpMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL( entry2->EntryId() );
smtpMtm->CreateMessageL((*rootChildren)[0]);

CImSmtpSettings* set = new(ELeave) CImSmtpSettings();
set->CopyL(smtpMtm->Settings());
smtpMtm->AddAddresseeL(iRecipient->Des());
smtpMtm->SetSubjectL(iSubject->Des());
smtpMtm->Body().InsertL(0, iBody->Des());
set->SetServerAddressL( iSmtpServer->Des() ); // Seems to be not supported!
set->SetPort( iSmtpServerPort ); // Seems to be not supported!
set->SetEmailAddressL( iSmtpSenderAdr->Des() ); // Seems to be not supported!
set->SetSendMessageOption(ESendMessageImmediately);
smtpMtm->SetSettingsL(*set);
CMsvEntry* entry3 = &smtpMtm->Entry();
TMsvEntry tMsvEntry = entry3->Entry();
tMsvEntry.SetInPreparation(EFalse);
tMsvEntry.SetScheduled(ETrue);
tMsvEntry.SetSendingState(KMsvSendStateWaiting);
entry3->ChangeL(tMsvEntry);
smtpMtm->SaveMessageL();

CMsvEntrySelection* sel = new (ELeave) CMsvEntrySelection;
sel->AppendL(entry3->EntryId());
smtpMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL(entry3->Entry().iServiceId);

iOperation = baseMtmUi->CopyToL(*sel, iStatus);
SetActive();

SAFE_DEL(sel);
SAFE_DEL(set);
SAFE_DEL(entry3);
SAFE_DEL(entry2);
SAFE_DEL(rootChildren);
SAFE_DEL(entry1);
SAFE_DEL(baseMtmUi);
SAFE_DEL(mtmUiRegistry);

CLog::logL( _L("CxMSBackend::sendSMTPL -") );
return KErrNone;
}

Take a look your code first and last line:

CMsvEntrySelection* sel = new (ELeave) CMsvEntrySelection;
sel->AppendL(entry3->EntryId());
smtpMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL(entry3->Entry().iServiceId);

iOperation = baseMtmUi->CopyToL(*sel, iStatus);
SetActive();

SAFE_DEL(sel);

When using async. methods, you should store parameters to instance variables. In this case, by the time the server starts to read your 'sel' data, it is long gone. The server is running in other process, and it reads data from your process using kernel IPC.

hello ,

Lukas ,

Many people here waiting for a library allowing us sending MMS in pys60 ... Could you share your code library when you have completed it ?
