Description S Nicolas 2001-03-03 20:04:31 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 2.1.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.2
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

When i receive mails
i can click on a few of them to read them and all works fine.
But after a few mail they become 
Sender = No Sender
Message = Unknown
And the body is emtpy.

As soon as the first message becomes unknown all the following i wanna see become unknwown too. And this bug is persistent : closing and re-opening KMail doesn't solve it.

Please help i loose all my mails and the worse of all :
i must use netscape :(

If you want more detail mail me i'll be glad to help you i really would like to use kmail.

Are you running another mail program at the same time? That's not=20
possible. Also see the FAQ at kmail.kde.org for lockfile problems.

Hello Daniel

all is good now i use KMail and enjoy it.
The mistake was that i tried kmail betas a long long time ago and created
many filters to sort my mails.
I deleted all the KMail config files for my account and recreated them.

All works fine now  KMail is great !!!!

By the way have you ever thought of of filter that would allow to
 give the attachments to a bash script (but would keep the attachment in the 
mail).
It would be very powerfull to my needs (and for some other users  i hope 
too).

Nevertheless all the kmail/kde team are great coders.
Thanks.

Steff

This feature is already in place. Have a look into the documentation for th=

details.

"Filter app" or "execute" does that see documentation.

You'r right michael i hadn't understood the execute or filter app actions 
could be used for that.
Thanks.

Another wish that might have been asked :
 could you add :
 1- a choice of columns headers in a list (status subject date attachment 
size etc... i find this is more intuitive in Netscape - really sorry to say 
that :) - ) . I would like to see which mail has an attachment and wich 
hasn't ..
 2- When you reply to a mail it would be nice to give the default focus to 
the body field instead of the TO field

Thanks for your answers and your code.

Steff

I also noticed a problem that is perhaps connected to this one in some way. I 
have my inbox folder sorted by dates. However two messages I got on saturday 
were sorted around september 2000 so I didn't find them first. They also 
both had unknown sender and subject but I could nevertheless read them. 
However today they are for some reason sorted correctly and with a real 
subject.

I didn't notice this.

This probram persists with KMail compiled from CVS Head on 03/10/2003. Please 
reopen this bug. 
Comment 8 Andrei Kolu 2006-06-04 01:18:15 UTC
This problem is NOT FIXED!!! Damn I can read my mail on webmail but kmail shows me this unknown shit. I'm already pissed off. Deleted all configuration and made new accounts, still after disconnected IMAP syncronisation shows me Unknown subject, unknown sender, unknown date.... Kmail 1.9.1 FreeBSD 6.1
Comment 9 Shawn Jones 2006-06-07 21:17:26 UTC
Same problem. Some of my emails read. Some don't. Once this thing starts changing the header to read 'unknown' 'unknown' etc. it doesn't quit. I have the latest stuff. If I restart some of them are restored and some aren't. Still when I click on them it turns them back to unknown. Please fix this.
By the way.. are those e-mails being destroyed?
Comment 10 Flo 2008-01-15 12:30:46 UTC
Same problem here! I am also using disconnected imap and for sure no other app is accessing my kmail cache! (imap may be accessed at the same time, but will deny access to second client). The messages are synchronized to the imap, so my messages are detroyed and cannot be recovered after turning "unknown".
