Description Mars 2013-05-21 07:23:40 UTC

After a migration to kmail2, the program kmail2 runs but fails to correctly display the old messages.  It displays the subject header of each old message, but doesn't display the message body.

When a new message arrives in the inbox, it is displayed correctly.  It is only the old messages that are not displayed correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade Fedora KDE spin, from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16 then to Fedora 18.  This makes it upgrade to Kmail2.
2. Open Kmail2.
3. Look to see what emails are displayed in Kmail2.  
Actual Results:  
It shows the subject headers of the old emails, in the old mailboxes, but it fails to display the message body of any of the old emails.  

(New emails arriving in the inbox are not affected, they are displayed correctly.)

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.

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.
