Description Szokovacs Robert 2012-06-04 19:13:36 UTC

I have hundreds of folders on my imap account, most of them seldom used. I set those to never sync. Still, when starting, kmail insist on syncing all of them, wasting time and cpu cycles, postponing the start of the usable period by minutes.

Reproducible: Always

How do you set "never sync" ?

Comment 2 Szokovacs Robert 2012-06-05 17:27:01 UTC

folder properties/retrieval/automatically synchronize after: never.
Actually, the folders with lots of messages have "use options from parent..." checked, and the parent (empty, only subfolders) has the setting described above.

I seem to have the same problem.
After the upgrade on my Gentoo 64 bit from KDE 4.10 to 4.11 I had to set up all my Akonadi stuff from scratch because it was borked (i.e. the setup is now as clean and uncustomised as can be).

Originally I set one of the IMAPs to sync every 60 minutes, but then decided to switch automatic sync off altogether for that account because it has lots of (distracting) mailing list traffic. Yet, even without opening KMail, the resource requests to open the KDE wallet, and I get notifications about new mail. I just sent a test mail to the account and was notified within 10 seconds. Could that be IMAP idle what I’m describing?

From my POV, if sync is switched off, then the resource should be completely passive.

Comment 4 Kevin Ottens 2013-11-16 07:27:56 UTC

The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.

Comment 5 Christian Mollekopf 2013-11-24 19:35:49 UTC

I'm not entirely sure, but it might be kmail that is triggering those syncs.

Comment 6 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:42:02 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:44:05 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.
