unity-mail crashed with secretstorage.exceptions.ItemNotFoundException in function_out(): The '/org/freedesktop/secrets/aliases/default' object does not exist

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thanks for reporting this. I have a couple of questions for you:

- Do you get this every time you try to start unity-mail?
- Do you have gnome-keyring-daemon running?
- Was the previous version of unity-mail (1.2.x) working for you?

Dmitry, thanks for your e-mail.

Here is my reply to your questions:

-The problem only occurred at the first start of Unity-mail, and did not
come after that.
-Gnome-keyring-daemon is always working in the background.
-Previous version of Unity-mail was working okay in Quantal.

Hope above is of help.

Regards and goodbye,

Munawar Ahmed

This bug was fixed in the package unity-mail - 1.3.2

---------------
unity-mail (1.3.2) raring; urgency=low

  * New bugfix release.
    - Remove useless str() wrap in try_establish_connection().
    - Handle socket errors in mark_message_as_read().
    - Handle UnicodeEncodeErrors in try_establish_connection().
    - When unable to get the default secretstorage collection, wait
      a second and try again using a different method (LP: #1162135).
    - Do not use star imports, to get pyflakes working.

Looks like this still happens sometimes, let's track it in bug 1175751.
