Is anything being done with this bug? The 4.7.0 release has just come out and reading the horror stories on Google, it still exhibits the same bugs namely that pop3 accounts, with the mail stored in ~/Mail does not get imported correctly and Kmail complaining about not having read/write access to the inbox. Am now getting "KMail Folders: Access control prohibits item creation in folder inbox" after reverting back to Kmail 1. I assume it is because I have not cleaned up the failed Kmail2 install properly - but then I do not know what files to delete / amend - there seems to be no guide. These messages (multiple) do not seem to affect Kmail 1 working - but they worry me. Advice please on how to clean up at least. Thanks, I got so sick and tired of this bug not being fixed, that I did a clean install of opensuse, upgraded straight to 4.7.0 and imported the mail in /home/username/Mail manually. It was still a pain in the proverbial donkey (getting rid of non functional akanodi_whatevers and having to go into akonadiconsole just to rename some top folders in KMail to something user friendly like "XS4ALL" comes to mind) but at least now I have a working mail system again. (Had temporarily gone to Claws). I had a lot more comments, but decided to delete them because I don't want to step on people's toes. I can confirm this problem (KDE 4.7.2, openSUSE 11.4). The migration itself was a nightmare. After first start (upgrade from KDE 4.6.0), the migration terminated immediately with an error, but w/o more verbose message. I started in interactive mode (kmail-migrator --interactive), before I had to delete all kmailrc2 etc files. This time the migration worked well, on the restart of KMail I skipped the migration. All accounts seem to be there, but kmail closes with the a.m. message.No usage possible. This is clearly a showstopper In a continuation of a recurring nightmare, I have upgraded my kubuntu installation, this time from 11.04 to 11.10. Once again, a number of random breakages have occurred. One of the breakages is as reported in this bug. Showstopper is an apt description. Same here, using kmail-4.7.3 on Gentoo. I am still using kde-3.5 successfully. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** This bug is now fixed. Look at release KDE 4.9 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124111 Excellent stuff. Now the next nice step would be to allow users to actually store their email in a dedicated /Mail partition ;-). I really *hate* it that in the new KMail the mail messages sit in some hidden directory (especially killing with pop3). Thanks for fixing this nasty beast! Maildir resources use a freely configurable path. |
