Description Christopher Heiny 2012-03-22 16:10:21 UTC

About a month ago, I upgraded from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16, and in the process "upgraded" to kmail2 4.7.4.  Since then, I've experienced an intermittent issue where kmail2 will retrieve an email from a POP3 server, delete it from the POP3 server, but not save it anywhere in any folder on my local machine.  This happens two or three times a week, over the course of a couple of hundred emails or so.  Let me know what additional information I can provide to help solve this.

we fixed a lot of bugs in 4.8
please update to 4.8

Comment 2 Christopher Heiny 2012-03-28 18:04:18 UTC

Updated to 4.8 Fedora 16 RPM.  I'll let you know if this recurs.

Comment 3 Christian Trippe 2012-03-31 10:58:13 UTC

There was bug 279297 which caused this behaviour, but I AFAIK this was fixed with 4.7.2

Comment 4 Christopher Heiny 2012-05-01 22:30:14 UTC

Not fixed as of 4.8.2.  This [censored by internet by the internet monitor] piece of [censored by internet monitor] [censored again] just lost all 11 bits of email received between 1PM and 3:15PM PDT. 

I was able to recover them from Gmail's trash and move them to the Gmail Inbox.  Kmail2 was able to download something once that was done.  Well, maybe.  Now it says I have 3 unread messages, but they don't show up in the inbox when I select "Any Status".  They do show up when I select "Unread" - and it turns out they're from Saturday morning.

Comment 5 Christopher Heiny 2012-06-18 13:27:49 UTC

Still present in 4.8.3.

Comment 6 Christopher Heiny 2013-11-06 18:34:13 UTC

Still happening in 4.10.5.

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:20:42 UTC

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.

Comment 8 Christopher Heiny 2016-09-25 06:00:16 UTC

I gave up on Kmail about a year and a half ago.  As far as I'm concerned, you can close this bug.

Comment 9 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 23:15:55 UTC

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.
