Description Luis M. Cruz 2005-09-16 14:15:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In void KMFolderMaildir::readFileHeaderIntern() you can find this code:

  // messages in the 'cur' directory are Read by default.. but may
  // actually be some other state (but not New)
  if (status == KMMsgStatusRead)
  {
    if (file.find(":2,") == -1)
      status = KMMsgStatusUnread;
    else if (file.right(5) == ":2,RS")
      status |= KMMsgStatusReplied;
  }

Messages with only ":2," in its filename are Unread messages (":2,S" are read ones), but this code leaves them marked as Read.

Please also see the closed, but not fixed bugs:
Bug 56792: cachedimap marks all mails as read
Bug 16204: kmail marks unread as read upon filter transfer

I have this problem still, now in kdepim-3.5.5-0.3.fc6 (Fedora Core 6).
(I (re)post here, because this is the only bug that discribes this problem that is not closed.)

I've read somewhere that my bug is unrelated to this, and just want you to know my bug seems to be fixed - see my comment in

Thanks

The code syntax has changed, but the code semantics is the same in 1.10.1 (kde 4.1.66).

SVN commit 1157541 by carewolf:

Fix a few bugs in parsing message-status in maildir
The bugs meant more status flags was lost than necessary,
when importing a maildir or when rebuilding the index.
