Error Message in E-mail function

8 replies · 3,359 views · Started 11 February 2003

I have a 9210i with v5.34 firmware. When using the email facilty, I frequently get an error message reading:

App: AppArcServerthread
Reason code: fsclient panic
reason no: 24

This most often occurs when scrolling down through messages. When cleared, the application carries on as though nothing has happened. It happens quite regularly and is fairly irritating.

Is this a common problem?
Is there a fix?
Does upgrading the firmare to v5.54 solve it?

Any help appreciated.

My guess would be uninstalling the mobipocket reader. That solved my problem. From what I heard: Mobipocket reader seems to scan all rtf texts (word, msgviewer etc.) and when it encounters a : in a message or word document it starts searching for a full pathname (which doesn't seem to have much success). I'm not sure if this is related to a specific version of mobipocket reader.

Bugger! I travel a lot and use Mobipocket reader all the time - it's better and cheaper than buying paperbacks in the UK -less stuff to carry.

Thanks for the quick analysis and feedback. Now for some careful thoughts about the relative merits of the alternatives - life's never easy!

Did you try to install the latest Mobipocket Reader ?
There was such a problem some time ago due to Symbian's way of treating recognizers.

No, latest version is 4.5, with brand new features (screen rotation, auto-scroll, highlight/annotations/modify/custom hyperlinks, ...)
You can download it from here

Thank you - I'll try it. I'll post here whether it solves the problem, but thanks for the notification of the update anyway.

Geez, this post is over a year old and only now I'm noticing it.

Man, I've had this problem for ages too, not only in Email, but also in Word, YEdit etc. It also happened after a fresh install so I thought it couldn't be helped. Since it was only annoying, I also didn't pay much attention to it. I really never attributed it to Mobipocket reader.

Unfortunately, the new version of mobireader doesn't have a progress indicator anymore when you're viewing a file full-screen, but this just convinced me to start using the latest version.

Thanks
