Description Christopher Yeleighton 2013-05-14 19:57:08 UTC

When my IMAP account is over quota, moving messages around fails because the server has to copy them first.  All other IMAP clients I tried (Seamonkey, Thunderbird, Windows Mail) inform the user about the failure and leave it where it was.  KMail pretends that it has been moved; it reappears when the folder content is refreshed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move a mail message from folder A to folder B.

Actual Results:  
1. Message disappears from folder A.

Expected Results:  
1. Server refused: OVER QUOTA.

Ok we need to test it.
Don't know if we test it.
We need to investigate it.

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

Comment 3 Christian Mollekopf 2013-12-03 17:46:49 UTC

This is a conceptual limitation of akonadi. Since operations are executed against the local cache, the resource cannot immediately object until it synchronizes to the server.
However, the imap resource should in this case inform the user using a notification that the action failed.
Ideally we could also catch the error immediately by comparing the stored quota limits, but that's another story.

So for now this becomes a duplicate to notify the user about errors.
