I add more: Also, the left panel containing the tree of folders is very broken in this matter: It does not actually count well how much items a folder has in it (be read or unread). Example: Create a new mail in composer, save it as a draft. Watch what drafts folder properties say: Counter for messages is wrong! Now delete that draft, and look how this counter is still wrong (in my case, I have 0 drafts, but it says it has 2 unread, 1 total, and 1.2 KiB but it is empty! The same goes for every other folders, I recently noted (after submitting comment), that deleting a message in every folder, does not seem to update its counter. Can confirm this bug (In reply to comment #3) > Can confirm this bug Which? The original or the appended one in comment #2? As for the original I cannot confirm and I've been using KMail2 since.. well the beginning. (In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #3) > > Can confirm this bug > > Which? The original or the appended one in comment #2? > > As for the original I cannot confirm and I've been using KMail2 since.. well > the beginning. Did you upgrade from kmail1 or used a fresh kmail2 install? I reported it by using migration wizard and not a clean and fresh install and config. Both actually. And again, what bug can you confirm, wrong unread count or wrong total counter? Since I reported the bug, I can confirm both two. But I am installing a fresh install of gentoo with kde 4.7.0 and will retest once it is finished with a clean config. I retested with a clean system clean config kde 4.7.0 and can confirm both problems: On one hand the counter problem: Currently it is displaying 45 unread messages (all of those messages are in blue color in messagelist). It does not matter whether I open a message or whether I right click on folder and select 'Mark all mails as read' option. On the other hand is the messagelist display: The most annoying thing is that messages in messagelist keep having blue color instead of changing color to mark them as efectivelly read. And there is a bit more, when I right click a message and mark it as important, nothing happens however if I click the "exclamation" button at the right part of the message (in messagelist) it is correctly marked as important, so maybe a problem of signal connections? Another thing which can be the cause of this too: I saw that in custom colors config, there is no option for 'read message' color, but there is for 'new message', 'unread message', and so on. So that could be the cause to a message not changing its color after being read?? Well, since no support is being received from developers, and this is a blockstopper bug from using Kmail, I am switching to another software hoping this will be solved really soon (I loved kmail...) I will provide an image which will show what I am talking about of this serious regression. In this image can be seen that I have 166 Unreaded messages on "StormByte" folder, but all of those have already been opened and read!! Well, this is the image proving it is deadly wrong: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ao7mAZyFiy4/Tkvo24UxS-I/AAAAAAAAACQ/HqUIbH9m1XI/s1600/kmail.png Can confirm "wrong unread count ", don't use total count... http://adishatz.1s.fr/~gnumdk/kmail2/ Here screenshot showing what is happening: - mail1.png: We receivre a new mail, marked as unread, in maildir, we can see mail is marked as unread. - mail2.png: We read mail in kmail, marked as read in kmail, as unread in maildir and in roundcube - mail3.png: We read mail again in kmail, marked as read in kmail, as read in maildir and as read in roundcube. So, it seems kmail (akonadi?) do not append ",S" to mail filename first time we read email. Here what happens in logs:
First time i read the message:
processing retrieval request for item 50388 parts: ("RFC822") of resource: "akonadi_imap_resource_1"
continuing
request for item 50388 succeeded
Seconde time:

Always mark message as read
Here a patch fixing the issue...
It seems kmail mark mail as read internaly but don't send information to akonadi.
Don't know if it's the best way to fix the bug... But it will give you a information on what's going wrong.
Ok, i delete all my .kde4 .local and .config directories and now all is working well without previous patch... WTF ? :-( Will wait to see if bug appear again or if it's a migration issue or if it was fixed by recent archlinux update (4.7.2-2). I have just installed Kubuntu 12.04, and initially my mail would work correctly (marking messages as read as I was opening them). I have then been through various contotions of errors with mail import from my old (11.10) home folder, and as a result Kmail no longer marks messages as read when reading them. If the reading pane is enabled, I have no problems, but I do not want to use the reading pane. On a test account I created, where my import went more smoothly, "mark as read when read" works. Thus a quick fix would be to be able to completely reset Kmail to the pristine state of "just installed"/"new user". Dropping the akonadi database does not seem to impact the problem I can not reproduce with 4.10.0 Is this still an issue for you with this current version ? I still see this bug everyday; Platform Version 4.10.1 "release 552" All my mail is via imap.... Haven't seen that problem in a long time. Others? 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. This bug is back in version 4:16.04.3. This is the version I can recall seeing it. (In reply to lnxusr from comment #23) > This bug is back in version 4:16.04.3. This is the version I can recall > seeing it. OK, it seems there was a delay of some sorts when I set 'Mark selected message as read after' to 0 seconds before it started actually marking them as read after opening. It's now working. 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. |
