Does this problem happen for all mails or only the IMAP ones? If so, this is probably the same as bug 140010. The problem I mentioned appears to happen only for my Inbox folder ( which contains only POP3 mails ). I have several other folders to which I copy incoming fails automatically by specified rules. When a mail of a folder ( not inbox-folder ) is read it stays in this read-state. Additonally I have another IMAP account which uses other folders. As far as I know there's no problem with the IMAP stuff when it comes to read-mark issue. -----Urspr Please remove the original message when replying to bugzilla. Hmm, strange problem, I haven't seen anything like that. Maybe you index file for your inbox is corrupt or read-only for some reason. How can I see if this may be the problem. Where are the mentioned files located and what permissions do they need to have ? >Where are the mentioned files located and what permissions do they need to have ?
The index files are located under $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail
Seems that the files you want to look at are .index.*
WARNING: Do not delete these files without a backup
Fedora 7, KDE-3.5.7, KMail-1.9.7 - I confirm this bug, it hit me couple of days ago, but IMHO _not_ immediately after any KDE component upgrade. I see it too, ditto on Fedora 7, and I think it started just a week or so ago. In the setup where I see this, I have no IMAP accounts, just one local and one POP (gmail). The Fedora bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/250009 I checked what is goin on in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/* directories. IIRC file that stores read e-mail should have ":2,S" suffix. And I see here that this suffix is _NOT_ added, no matter if I: - read the message, - choose "mark all as read" in apropriate folder Hovewer in kmails dir/status view, number of unread mail is being refreshed. So, num_unread_mail != num_files_with_":2,S"_suffix And obviously, if I visit that directory again - kmail refreshes dir/status view, and this messages re-appear as unread. The only combination that 'works' is: 1. "mark all as read", 2. "compress folder" Doing this makes ":2,S" appear where it should be. But after kmail restart this wrong behaviour returns. After removing all *.index files from the mail directories everthing works as expected. Removing *.index makes no difference here. Also, some new info @ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/250009: All my "important" and "todo" marks are gone from all mails, and newly created marks disappear as soon as I switch away from the folder. Reading the RedHat bugreport implies that this was either a problem with their packages or with your system times set wrong. Can you confirm that this problem is gone and - if that's the case - close this report please? |
