Description Bartek Marciniak 2006-07-14 11:34:28 UTC 
Version:           Kmail 1.9.3 (KDE 3.5.3-0.2.fc4 RedHat) (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

I have e-mail account on Lotus R5. To get mail I use POP3.

If I have few old mail in lotus mailbox and when new mail arrive Kmail get all these mails. So  if I have 5 old mail and I get one after 5 min next one mail etc. KMail get:
5 old + 1 new then next time
6 old + 1 new next
7 old + a new mail
x old + a new mail

This is horror to use KMail with Lotus Domino
Comment 1 Ingo Klöcker 2006-07-14 13:14:14 UTC 
I'd say that's the fault of Lotus Domino. KMail only fetches message with new ids. Apparently, Lotus Domino either doesn't support the UIDL command (which returns a unique id for each message and thus allows KMail to determine which messages it has already downloaded before) or the implementation of the UIDL command is broken.

Can you probably record the communication between KMail und Lotus with ethereal (or whatever it's called nowadays?) so that we can see what's going on? Unfortunately, we don't have a test account on a Lotus R5 (or any other Lotus server) so we can't do anything about it without getting more information from you.

Probably this could be solved removing the messages from the server (I mean, do not keep messages on the server).

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
