Bug 131489

Sentry Crash Report:

Description S. Burmeister 2006-07-28 21:19:00 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

If files, e.g. due to moving them via burning them to a CD, only have a -r- for the user, kmail does not notify the user that it cannot write to the email but just sets sender and subject to unknown, which is not helpful at all to find the reason of this issue. Index-files were writable.

Apart from that, why turn the sender and subject to unknown? Since kmail can read the emails, why not display them and just notify the user that kmail cannot write to it, i.e. cannot save the status "replied", "forwarded" etc.?

Expected behaviour:
- If an email is readable, display it without changing anything to "unknown".
- If it is not writable, notify the user about the restrictions this implies.

In kmail 1.12.90 (svn 996033)

In fact I get the following message in the stdout:
 KMFolderMaildir::getDwString Could not open file r+ "the file with -r-------- 
righs".
