Description Scarlett Moore 2014-10-31 18:59:22 UTC

Folder Archive does not archive on Archive selection even though it is enabled in Settings ->Accounts->myaccount->Folder Archive tab. I have a Folder selected and Month and Year.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Folder Archive in Settings
2. Right click on email I want to archive
3. Select Archive from the menu

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The email should get archived into the folder I selected in the settings.

This is KF5/Plasma 5

My KDE4 puter you cannot even select an archive folder, but that is for another bug report.

account type ?

Comment 2 Scarlett Moore 2014-10-31 22:13:15 UTC

Oops, important detail indeed.

IMAP

Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2014-11-03 12:31:52 UTC

I confirm that it doesn't work here too.

Comment 4 Michael Mikowski 2016-01-30 02:33:37 UTC

Confirmed here as well.  Archiving a folder fails for every folder I try on both active and disabled IMAP accounts.  It doesn't work for Local folders either.

I too am trying to archive an imap account (Exchange 2008 server - not my choice :P ) that did NOT have "download messages for offline use" set but is now defunct.  I want to store whatever information I currently have into an archive.  Is there any way to do this?  

Interestingly, I was able to copy a second account (Gmail server) with the exact same settings to a backup folder without difficulty by selecting the account "folder", e.g. "Gmail", right-clicking, and then selecting  -> Copy folder to .... and then selecting a local backup folder.  When I try that with the (Exchange) IMAP account, it silently fails.

v5.02 Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.18.0
Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1)
The xcb windowing system
