Subject: Re: New: Cannot create file ".mailboxlist" or ".mlbxlsttmp" upon startup Which IMAP server are you using? Please search the file .mailboxlist in your home directory with 'find . -name .mailboxlist'. The IMAP server I connect to is: "mail.colorado.edu". Here are some results from searching my home directory for files with "mailbox" and "mlbx" in their names: [rookkey@localhost rookkey]$ find . -regex ".*mailboxlist.*"; find . -regex ".*mlbx.*" ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/..mailboxlist ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mailboxlist.index ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mailboxlist.index.ids ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/..mlbxlsttmp ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mlbxlsttmp.index ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mlbxlsttmp.index.ids I assume these files should not have two or three prepended dots ("..") in their names. To explore the issue some more, I removed all the files listed above and ensured that I did not have any "..mailboxlist" or "..mlbxlsttmp" files in the directory. I restarted KMail, and this time no error dialogs appeared. However, KMail created the following files when I restarted: ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/..mailboxlist ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mailboxlist.index ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mailboxlist.index.ids ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/..mlbxlsttmp ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mlbxlsttmp.index ./.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.Colorado.directory/...mlbxlsttmp.index.ids I closed KMail and restarted it. Both error messages mentioned in my opening comment start appearing again everytime I launch KMail. |
