Description Holger Karl 2002-05-25 07:43:59 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.10-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi

Moving or copying an email message from one folder to another stopped working: when dragging an email from one folder to another it just stays in the original folder (same result when using the menus). Also the email file just stays in the maildir directory and is not moved. 

Moving DID work before - I recently switched to Maildir in order to synchronize mails between different accounts. Moving also works on my office account but no longer on my home account. I would not expect that the synchronizing should have any ramifications on the working of kmail? Synchronized mails do show up in the correct folders and are properly displayed by kmail it is just that I now no longer can move any mail betweens folders. Very annoying!

Thanks a lot for any advice!

Holger

Do you have write access to all files in ~/Mail ?

Comment 2 Holger Karl 2002-05-25 08:34:22 UTC
Hi

sorry to have bothered you - the source of the problem is that my rsync-scr=
ipt=20
does not recreate empty directories. In particular the "tmp" directories=
=20
where not recreate which apparently are pivotal for the moving of mails.

Suggestion: perhaps add a check that all cur/new/tmp - subdirectories of a=
=20
maildir-directory exist and recreate if necessary/ warn the user?

Thanks a bundle - kmail really is very nice by now!!

Regards

Holger

Yes thanks. See my followup - problem are the missing ..../tmp-directories.

I've submitted a patch to do exactly this - just waiting on feedback and/or 
committing.

The patch is under Bug # 42547.  It also fixes a more serious bug.

An error message is now displayed if the folder is not a valid maildir folder.

Comment 6 Michael Langerhorst 2009-01-05 16:16:22 UTC
I had a similar problem after importing mails successfully from kubuntu 8.04 to kubuntu 8.10
KMail crashed after moving folders. The first 5-6 operations (moving folders) worked fine. Then it crashed. I added the information of the crashmanager.
