Description jerome 2005-08-23 19:54:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Whenever I "Delete" a message (not Trashed), the status line shows "Deleting messages failed." even though the message is deleted.

Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2005-08-24 05:29:03 UTC

I cannot confirm. KDE 3.5 r449049, it says it was successful.

Comment 2 tekwyzrd 2005-10-05 23:31:31 UTC

KDE 3.4.2 - KMail 1.8.2 - SuSE 9.3

I can confirm this. I have this happen whenever I delete a message or empty trash.

Comment 3 axgrau 2005-10-17 09:04:09 UTC

I can confirm: KDE 3.4.2 - KMail 1.8.2 - SuSE 10.0
I get this error in .xsession-error

Cannot open client
auto_sink: Could not load polyp

Comment 4 Daniel Hahler 2005-10-25 02:20:00 UTC

This seems to be an error with the sound system which gets used for creating the status message.

I cannot confirm it with KDE 3.5b2, but artsd has other problems here and is therefor off.

Comment 5 Robert 2006-03-01 15:01:55 UTC

I get the same error.  I have the KDE sound system disabled and use Kontact in XFCE.

Comment 6 Robert 2006-03-05 00:57:49 UTC

Sorry ... additional info: kernel 2.6.14.6, kde 3.4.2, qt 3.3.4.  Once when I started kontact/kmail, it had blank email messages with no to/from/subject.  Chmod 755 to all folders and files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/* fixed the problem.  Don't know how they became -x because nothing was changed.

Comment 7 Robert 2006-03-05 04:24:54 UTC

Additional info: after receiving two emails after the above "fix" with permissions, deleting one of the new emails fails.  I checked permissions and again chmod +x all of them, and deleted another recent email, and it still said "deleting messages failed".

Comment 8 Werner Meyer 2006-09-13 10:50:43 UTC

kmail 1.8.2 using kde 3.4.2 level b suse 10.0

trying to delete a message on the server (using IMAP) (and using the shortcut shift+del) brings up the message “deleting messages failed” (Also for a singel message), the message disappears in the list but closing and starting kmail again, the message is in the folder (on the server) still/again.
That's really stupid.
(Sometimes deleting works, sometimes not - as described above.)

Comment 9 Martin Koller 2009-09-26 18:36:35 UTC

So this is about IMAP onyl, correct ?
