Comment 1 Dave High 2010-10-15 09:55:42 UTC

I like to add this information which may be useful:
The error message (No access to the Outbox ...) has the title:  Mail Dispatcher Agent - Akonadi-Modul

So, it seems there is a problem between akonadi and kmail.

still valid ?

Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2011-09-22 09:03:05 UTC

not sure, I see this actually:

Comment 4 Stefan Taferner 2011-11-12 21:30:18 UTC

I see this message too at the moment, and I cannot get kmail to send the mails in the outbox in any way. It's kmail 4.7.2 here.

$ kmail
Object::connect: No such slot KMMainWidget::slotItemNotMovedByFilters( Akonadi::Item )
kmail2(6654)/kdepimlibs (mailtransport): Could not access Outbox.

Comment 5 Adrien 2012-04-20 09:23:51 UTC

same here with KDE 4.8.2 from Mageia 2 beta 3.

Comment 6 Adrien 2012-04-20 10:35:00 UTC

FYI, doing a:

$ akonadictl restart

solved the problem for me..

Comment 7 Laurent Montel 2015-04-12 09:50:03 UTC

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.
