Bug 283563

Before update to KDE 4.7.1 I have Kmail 1.13.7 installed with KDE 4.6.5.

Looks like the same problem also in KDE 4.7.2.

Ok and what is the error ????

but why it failed ?

Kresource Migration Tool

When KDE 4.7.1 started firest time after update opened window "Kresource Migration Tool" with message that Migration of 'resource' succeeded.

KMail Migration

When I started Kmail "Kmail Migration" opened and I pressed "Migrate Now"

Created attachment 64386 [details]
Migration Failed

Then appeared this window with error message:
Migration to Kmail 2 failed. In case you want to try again , run 'kmail-migrator --interactive' manually.

But when I tried this command there was message:
Migration of kmailrc has already run, not running it again

And I can reproduce this every time when using saved .kde dir.

it doesn't give me info about failed :)

> it doesn't give me info about failed :)

If you tell me what additional information needed and how can I get it then I can provide it here.

So when I running kmail from command line I got this:

$ kmail
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.

KMail write Version=1 to kmail-migratorrc before start kmail-migrator

> KMail write Version=1 to kmail-migratorrc before start kmail-migrator

And then kmail-migrator fails because of this commit

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdepim-runtime/repository/revisions/db0c79245cec967f5af1c94f62ae377dd0eb81a4

Good catch. So I take it that KMail is broken and needs to be fixed (by removing 1 line?), right?

kdepim-4.7.2-alt-migration.patch

fixes the problem

No it's not good this patch.
You don't want to migrate => you wrote it.

With your patch you can't say no.

So it(s not good.

'("Enabled", false)' may be changed to '("Version", targetVersion)' in first hunk

Yes, I think you should change that. When/if there will be another migration of this kind needed, the user might want THAT migration to happen.

kdepim-4.7.2-kmail-migration.patch

This version of the patch disables only this migration permanently and not future ones (with new target versions.)

That said, I'm not convinced that that hunk is correct in the first place. Does a user really expect a "no" to be permanent? I'd expect it to be a "Not now", not a "Never".

(That said, getting prompted again and again with no way to opt out would also be an annoyance, so I guess distros looking for a quick fix should use my patch from comment #16.)

By the way, the commit which caused this regression is this commit by David Faure:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdepim-runtime/repository/revisions/60f8c01542f86bd04cafd68b91c2f609d73d4aa2
which added the check preventing running the migration manually when it was already run.

I tested patch from comment #16.
Migration works as expected.

Clearly I have the same bug... but currently I have lost all my mail, and every time I try to start kmail I get the error-message that "Failed to fetch the resource collection"

Maybe this information can be useful for you
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/OneiricOcelot/Final/Kubuntu/Kmail2

 Partially helpful, thank you... now I no longer have the "Failed to fetch
resource collection" but

1) a collection of error messages during the interactive migration "KMail
folders: unusable configuration".
2) a migration request when i start kmail
3) no mails in the correctly transfered directory/folder structure

Appears not to be fixed in KDE 4.8, at least according to the latest update on the Kubuntu LaunchPad bug entry for this problem:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857828

# Just incredible that is isn't fixed with a new LTS release.
#
# My company just decided to stop using KDE due to bosses finding it
# unacceptable that people loses emails and configurations due to just
# a update. Back to windows.
