Description Jakub Schmidtke 2010-12-12 20:31:41 UTC

Version:           2.0.89 (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

When I create a new IMAP account, and right click on its name in the folder tree, there is an option to edit its "Folder Properties".
After a while (not sure if it is after I close and reopen the kmail, or after some mail has been downloaded), that option is no longer there.
I wanted to change "retrieval" options of all the folders in the account,
and each of them have an option to "use options from parent folder or account".
Without that "folder properties" for the account there is no way to edit it for all the folders inside that account. And I haven't found a way to edit it anywhere else.


Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.36-ARCH
Compiler: gcc

I can always access the dialog with (1) Right-click the IMAP root entry and (2) Folder Properties…. However, even if I change nothing from the properties, when I click OK to close the dialog I get a notification like this:

<Account name>: [Could not write some new annotations from <Account name> to the IMAP server]. SetAnnotation failed, server replied: A000301 BAD Unknown command: SETANNOTATI…

So there seems to be definitely something wrong with it.

Note: The text between brackets is a translation by me, the rest was not available in my language so it’s the actual English string.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
