MobileMail Crashing
Quick tip I found on the hackint0sh forums about an issue with MobileMail crashing on a Jailbroken 1.1.4 iPhone.
Forum member Bobhope:
chown -R mobile:mobile /private/var/mobile/
Run that, will solve the problem with mail and iTunes Sync crashing.
Edit: I’ve recently found 2 new things regarding this issue. One, recently I have been unable to receive mail through MobileMail. iPhone appeared to download the mail, but wouldn’t display. This seemed to be the exact same permission issue, as with a lot of other apps that seemingly would not save anything. I’m not sure if this is due to iLiberty, but it appears there is a fix in the payload repo. Instead, I ran the above command, which brings me to number 2. Previously I did not need to run the command under root, I just ran ran it as displayed above, and it worked. For some reason it’s not working now, so I had to run su first, and input the root password.
su <enter>
<enter root password, should be alpine unless you’ve changed it>
chown -R mobile:mobile /private/var/mobile/
