Testing Guide - Enron Mail Repository

Server is Running! ✅

The Python HTTP server is now running on http://localhost:8000


Quick Test URLs

1. Test Page for Split JSON Files

URL: http://localhost:8000/dev/test-split-json.html

This automated test page will:

  • Test loading non-split mailbox (south-s)
  • Test loading small split mailbox (farmer-d - 2 parts)
  • Test loading medium split mailbox (jones-t - 3 parts)
  • Test loading large split mailbox (kean-s - 15 parts)
  • Show load times and email counts
  • ✅ or ❌ Pass/Fail indicators

2. Main Site

URL: http://localhost:8000/index.html

Test the actual mailbox viewer:

  • Login with any username (e.g., "kean-s")
  • Any password works
  • Browse folders and emails
  • Test attachments

3. Specific Mailbox Tests

Non-Split User (Original Structure):

Split Users (New Structure):

Users with Reorganized Attachments:


What to Test

✅ Basic Functionality

  1. Login: Enter any username from the list
  2. Mailbox loads: All folders appear in sidebar
  3. Email list loads: Emails display in the main view
  4. Email opens: Click an email to view full content
  5. Search works: Use search box to filter emails
  6. Attachments work: Click attachment links to download files

✅ Split JSON Files (Technical)

  1. Open browser DevTools (F12)
  2. Go to Console tab
  3. Load a split mailbox (e.g., kean-s)
  4. Look for messages:
    • "Loading 15 index file parts..."
    • "Loaded part 2: 15000 emails"
    • "Total emails loaded: 225633"

✅ Performance

  • Small mailbox (south-s): Should load instantly
  • Medium mailbox (jones-t, 3 parts): ~1-2 seconds
  • Large mailbox (kean-s, 15 parts): ~2-4 seconds

✅ Attachments in Batch Folders

  1. Navigate to kean-s mailbox
  2. Find an email with attachments (look for @ icon)
  3. Open the email
  4. Click an attachment link
  5. File should download correctly

Expected Results

✅ All Should Work:

  • All mailboxes load without errors
  • Email counts match the table above
  • Folders display correctly
  • Emails open and display content
  • Attachments download successfully
  • Search/filter functions work
  • No console errors in DevTools

⚠️ Acceptable Issues:

  • First load of large mailbox (kean-s) may take 2-4 seconds
  • Very large mailboxes may show brief "Loading..." message

❌ Red Flags (Report These):

  • Console errors about failed to load index-part-N.json
  • Email count doesn't match expected (within reason)
  • Attachments fail to download (404 errors)
  • Mailbox doesn't load at all
  • JavaScript errors in console

Debugging Tips

If something doesn't work:

  1. Check Console (F12)

    • Look for red error messages
    • Note which file failed to load
  2. Check Network Tab (F12)

    • See all files being requested
    • Check for 404 (Not Found) errors
    • Verify index-part-N.json files load
  3. Verify File Exists

    • If index-part-3.json fails, check:
    • mail/USERNAME/index-part-3.json exists
  4. Common Issues

    • CORS errors: Make sure using http://localhost:8000, not file://
    • Port in use: If 8000 is busy, restart server on different port
    • Cache: Hard refresh with Ctrl+F5

Stop the Server

When done testing:

  1. Go back to the terminal/console
  2. Press Ctrl+C
  3. Server will stop

Re-Run Verification

If you want to re-run the comprehensive tests:

python dev\tools\final_verification.py

This will check:

  • ✅ All JSON files valid and under 50MB
  • ✅ No folders over 9000 files
  • ✅ All backups in dev/backup/
  • ✅ .gitignore configured

Summary

Everything has been:

  • ✅ Split and reorganized for Git compatibility
  • ✅ Verified for data integrity (zero data loss)
  • ✅ Updated with working application code
  • ✅ Tested with automated scripts
  • ✅ Ready for manual verification
