Description Ferry 2013-10-28 22:03:24 UTC

We have an imap server that we use to store ALL our e-mail on our local server. I mean 1000's of e-mail and 20GB or so of storage. 

Now, when I'm on the road or working from home I don't want to sync the whole archive to my local machine. So, I go to the properties of the imap folder, select the retrieve tab, then select 'download the contents of messages at request' and then 'keep local for 5 minutes'.

After 5 minutes Kontact starts clearing my local cache. However, whenever I start my computer again and start Kontact, these settings have returned to default and Kontact starts downloading the whole archive again.

This is driving me nuts.

There is also an option 'use options from the above folder', but since there is no folder above the imap folder level, I don't know how to change those settings (to turn the default to just downloading the headers).

Reproducible: Always

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 kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
