(*** 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 (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)

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

See my followup - problem are the missing ..../tmp-directories. :-) Regards Holger > Regards > Michael H=E4ckel > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE870tBe9KEPyN2R8URAlIvAJ9mPYmiEtRjhUmeqNhFBtWRDNqT+ACeP+QW > whpFsD9bMGxapThEYuqGAVg=3D > =3D8w2F > -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
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. --Russell On Saturday 25 May 2002 03:34 Holger Karl wrote: > Hi > > sorry to have bothered you - the source of the problem is that my > rsync-script does not recreate empty directories.

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

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.
Created attachment 29934 [details] output of crashmanager
