Environment


Retain 3.x
GroupWise

Situation


I see GWMailBasics - getStatusAsWordList(): status == null, returning "" in my logs. Nulls are bad aren't they?

Resolution


This is not an error.  Groupwise stores new messages with a null status. This only changes when the user does something to the message like open, or delete it.
