Description Paul Staroch 2008-08-15 15:04:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) 
OS:                Linux

I'm using disconnected IMAP with a GMail account. Whenever I move a mail with status "read" from one folder to another, this mail's status will be set to "unread".

How to reproduce:
1. Use disconnected IMAP (and a GMail account?).
2. Select a mail with status "read" (also works with an arbitrary number of mails).
3. Move it to another folder.
4. Synchronize the destination folder with the IMAP server.

The mail will be uploaded and downloaded afterwards. Its status will now be "unread" instead of "read".

Can not reproduce on 1.11.2(kde 4.2.2). Mail status is preserved in synchronization.

I'm suffering exactly the same thing, but only in gmail not in another disconnected imap account. So it could be something related to the way gmail moves e-mails between folders (or add tags to them)

this bug is not resolved, there is more people suffering it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232121

it may be related to how kmail manages gmail imap, as I could not see a similar bug in, for instance, thunderbird
