Description Radu Benea 2009-08-20 00:20:05 UTC

Version:           KMail
Version 1.12.90 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have a gmail account and chat logs appear in my inbox, this is normally not an issue because they are magically marked as read, except, when I receive an offline message via google talk.
When this happens I get the inbox folder marked as if I got new mail, but when I open it I can't see anything. Since I got the recheck mail every 5 minutes set, I get "flagged" as having new mail every 5 minutes, and everytime I look in the inbox there's nothing (but the new message flag goes away).

I do realize this is probably not a bug in kmail but in gmail's way of handling this type of "special messages". However I posted this bug so that you can decide who has the problem.

I should also mention that I have no filters whatsoever neither in gmail nor in kmail. But offline google talk messages are not normal emails either...

Thanks for looking into this!

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.
