When I tried KMail 4.13.2 during checking out 64-bit Mageia-5-Alpha1, I came across some awkward situations: (1) Kmail had lost the current location of the 'local' directory, so could not find my (Mageia-4) email database. (I had not been using the default location.) (2) Kmail had lost the whole 'POP' server setup. (SMTP server setup still intact) (3) All mail filters had to be adjusted to reflect the re-found Local folders. (4) All folder 'View' settings had been reset to default. So any relative newcomer to Kmail will have a hard time sorting it out. Perhaps some Help info should appear when KMail 4.13 realises it's a 'transition' stage from a pre-4.13 situation? On the positive side, KMail's 'Find Messages' seems at last to be restored to its old efficacy (thanks to Baloo?), and its overall performance excellent. 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. |
