           Summary: The Bat! Voyager fails to accept the master password
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc2
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: borut.maricic at pobox.com


Introduction: 
I am trying to use The Bat! Voyager mail client
(http://www.ritlabs.com/download/the_bat/voyager_install_4-0-18-4.exe) under
Ubuntu 8.04 desktop via Wine 1.0-rc2. (Although my systemm is an AMD Athlon 64,
my Linux is just plain Ubuntu 8.04 - not a 64bit version.) The problem I am
describing here is a show stopper for me.

Background: 
The Bat! mail client will, due to being developed in Delphi RDS, never be
ported to Linux. For me it is, however, the only obstacle in a transition from
Windows to Linux, due to the fact that there is no comparably robust and
sophisticated e-mail client for Linux to be found (and my e-mail base is almost
1.5 GB in size).

Your testing problem:
One needs a valid user license for The Bat! Professional, in order to be able
to activate and use Voyager. There is a small number of activations allowed and
activations are bound to drive serial numbers.

Details:
Voyager does not use Registry - the idea is to have both the program,
configuration and e-mail database on the same drive (for instance an
USB-drive). I installed and activated Voyager under Windows XP Home SP2, on a
"virtual drive" powered by TrueCrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/). There is a
Linux version of TrueCrypt and I can mount the same drive under Ubuntu.

The first thing Voyager asks for after being started is the mail database
encryption password (="the master password"). When being started under Ubuntu
via Wine, right before this dialog comes up, the following lines are being
logged in the console window (there are only a few, so I am not making a
separate attachment here)...


Console log:
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x11579e1) using GetSystemInfo()
fixme:imagehlp:CheckSumMappedFile (0x1bc0000, 6544892, 0x11869fa, 0x11869fe):
stub
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 95
(SPI_GETSNAPTODEFBUTTON)


Whatever I enter, Voyager does not accept my input, reporting an unacceptable
password being entered. The last logged line ("Unimplemented action: 95") is
being repeated for every repeated try of a password entry.

Although Voyager tests internaly also for the drive serial number, I do not
think this is the problem, since I defined an appropriate drive letter and
attached a serial number to it in a Wine configuration.

Am I doing something wrong? Could I do some more testing; try something in a
different way? Can you do anything? Thanks a lot!
