Description K. A. Sayeed 2012-05-12 16:59:12 UTC

1. An e-mail message was sent (please note that the message was sent successfully):

Actual Results:  
1. The following error message is displayed momentarily at the bottom right hand corner of the screen:

2.1. "Local folders: Error opening. This folder is missing.".

Expected Results:

Comment 1 K. A. Sayeed 2012-05-12 17:00:28 UTC

1. Please note the the folder named "Local Folders" does exist and contains several sub-folders.

Comment 2 K. A. Sayeed 2012-05-12 17:07:01 UTC

1. Please also note that the sent messages are also stored in the "outbox" folder under "Local Folders" even though the message has already been sent and is contained in the "Sent" folder as well as in the "Inbox" of the recipient.

Are you sure that you send folder is correctly defined in identity ?

Comment 4 K. A. Sayeed 2012-05-18 02:18:20 UTC

I am absolutely sure that the send folders and all the required folders are
indeed correctly identified for each identity. I have double checked this
once again after receiving your message and found this to be correct. As a
matter of fact, both received and sent messages were put into the
appropriate folders by Kmail whenever messages were received or sent.

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 6 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:43:28 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.
