Description lnxusr 2009-03-07 22:54:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If I click on the trashcan icon in the message view window, unless the folder that message is in is currently selected, nothing happens.  The message is not deleted, nor is the window closed.

I can confirm this behaviour with Kubuntu release 9.10 (Karmic Koala).

KMail: 1.12.2
KDE: 4.3.2
Qt: 4.5.2

Comment 2 Björn Ruberg 2010-02-15 02:07:44 UTC

Confirmed in KDE 4.3.5

Comment 3 lnxusr 2010-02-15 19:03:23 UTC

This is still the case in KDE 4.4.0

Comment 4 lnxusr 2010-08-07 01:37:28 UTC

Still the case with kde 4.5.0

Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2011-01-23 13:38:54 UTC

KMMessage* FolderStorage::getMsg(int idx)
{
  if ( idx < 0 || idx >= count() )
    return 0;
...
}

I looked at code and when folder is not selected count() return 0 => it can't be deleted. Don't know why for the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
