Mail: signatureMode is not a valid attribute

ℹ️ Support
1

The Mail app stopped working, when I try to open it, it immediately gives an 500 internal server error, and I have the following line in the log.

The error persists throug uninstalling/reinstalling the app.

The only appearance of “signatureMode” is in /storage/nextcloud/www-root/3rdparty/phpseclib/phpseclib/phpseclib/Crypt/RSA.php, and I can’t find it anywhere in the DB.

What might be wrong, and how to fix this?

NC 24.0.6
Mail 1.14.1

Hey,

signature_mode is a new field for oc_mail_accounts and oc_mail_aliases. It should be added when you update to Mail 2.0: https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/stable2.0/lib/Migration/Version1140Date20220628174152.php

If you run Mail 1.14 and see the field in oc_mail_accounts or oc_mail_alias it should be safe to drop it.

To prepare for Mail 2.0 (which is only available for Nextcloud 25) please have a look in the migrations table.

select *
from oc_migrations
where app = 'mail' and version = '1140Date20220628174152'

If a row exists, please delete it (otherwise it would not add the fields automatically when you upgrade to Mail 2.0 sometime).

Please make a backup just in case :wink:

Thank you @kesselb! It was caused indeed by those extra columns. I intended to upgrade, made some preparations, but during the process turned out my system is not supported anymore by NC 25, so I’m stuck with 24 and the older Mail.

I would’ve figured it out myself if the column name wouldn’t use a different naming convention than the in-memory (thus in-log) object properties :man_facepalming:
