Description kavol 2013-05-31 11:09:34 UTC

I have troubles with kmail - it freezes(*) trying to display anything from local folders.

(*) I mean it doesn't display the selected email body, and after that, it refuses to display any email from any other folder. It isn't "freeze" in the sense that I couldn't do anything, it just stops displaying emails. After quitting and starting kmail again, I can display any of emails on IMAP, but once I try to display something from the local folders, it "freezes" again.

So I've tried some magic via akonadiconsole (like switching the particular resource online/offline, checking the configuration etc.) This did not help.

On some subsequent akonadiconsole start, I've noticed in the browser that there are two sets of the same local folders. Switching to agents listing, I've noticed there are two "Maildir" resources, identified akonadi_maildir_resource_0 and akonadi_maildir_resource_1. So I've removed the second one.

But that led to creating another agent named "Lokální složky" identified akonadi_maildir_resource_2.

So I've removed that one and got another "Lokální složky" identified akonadi_maildir_resource_3. Hm, interesting, on next akonadiconsole start the name got changed to "Maildir".

So I've removed that one and ... guess what I got?

Note that after each removal, akonadi starts spitting out messages like this until its restart:

akonadi_maildispatcher_agent(15988)/libakonadi: Resource id's don't match: "akonadi_maildir_resource_2" "akonadi_maildir_resource_1"

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 kavol 2013-05-31 11:24:50 UTC

one more note ... looking into configuration, the agents created as even have this:

Path[$e]=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_2
Path[$e]=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_4
etc.

while the odd ones have
Path[$e]=$HOME/.local/share/local-mail

(which is the correct location)

same for me

Debian Testing (kdepim-runtime / libkdepim4 4:4.10.5-2)

Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:35:16 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 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:04:40 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.
