Mailspring won't open after adding an account

Bug Reports
#1

Description

I decided to try out mailspring.

It launched fine, I connected my gmail account… and then it won’t open again.

If I reset the config, it opens again, I connect my gmail account, and it doesn’t open anymore.

This is all I get when starting it from the terminal:

[458816:1018/131251.922786:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser”

{"error":null}
Manual update check (updates.getmailspring.com/check/linux/x64/1.14.0-07c62cca/anonymous/stable) returned 204

The tray icon is there, but doesn’t do anything when clicking “settings” or “open inbox”

To Reproduce…

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install mailspring from the AUR
  2. Open, connect a gmail account without a mailspring ID
  3. Your mailspring is now cooked

Expected Behavior

Working mailspring

Setup

  • OS and Version: Arch Linux, running Wayland. (tested: Hyprland, sway)
    • Installation Method: AUR: mailspring-bin
  • Mailspring Version:
mailspring --version
1.14.0-07c62cca

Additional Context

Tried on my desktop too. Same happens (Arch as well)

Worth noting: after like… 10 minutes-ish? of being stuck mailspring just exits with code 0.

#2

I’ve managed to launch it by forcing it to run in XWayland mode. This is (IMO) not an acceptable solution, as it introduces a lot of pain points of X11, especially going forward.

#3

My personal opinion is that X11 is going the way of the dinosaurs anyway.

I use Wayland and have been using Wayland for the past 2 years and it works really well in my opinion.
