Description Thomas Heuving 2002-10-05 13:22:46 UTC
Version:           1.4.7 (using KDE 3.0.8 (KDE 3.1 beta2))
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.2.18

kmail doesn't show any folder-name in the folder-subwindow, only a '-' is shown.
The names *are* shown in the title of the kmail-window.
Don't know if it isimportant:
  On the first start kmail informed me, that there was no index of the folder "spamblock", which is correct, because this folder is filled by
procmail with all the spam I receive.

The folder-names are in fact shown, but the column for names has a width of ~ 
0, so you can't read them! What is shown is solely the number of unread 
messages; this column has a reasonable width. 
This is at least annoying and unexpected behaviour.

Did the column with the number of unread messages take up the whole 
space of the folder view? Could you please provide a small screenshot 
which shows how the folder view looked like?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Ingo

Learned to do it with ksnapshot. Look at the attachment. Also note the 
tip-window, which has a rather unusable width (maybe 1600 pixels?). 
Should I file another bug-report?

don't know if it's related, but yesterday I started kmail 
with KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde-doesntexist and kmail showed the  
same - for my folders.

ksnapshot, then cut the interesting area from the big image with e.g. 
gimp and save as a reduced color (e.g. 16 colors) PNG image.
gimp: Image->Mode->Indexed... (No dither)

Fixed in cvs for KDE 3.1. The folder pane now is much wider by default.
