Description Michael D 2015-09-18 10:51:45 UTC

When trying to open an mbox file saved in KMail it returns the message that the file or folder does not exist, while indicating the correct path. This occurs whether or not the folder path has spaces in it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save an e-mail in Kmail in mbox format
2. Try to open the file from eg. Dolphin

Actual Results:  
An error dialog is presented saying that the file or folder [path name indicated here] does not exist.

Expected Results:  
The message is opened

I'm using kmail2 4.81 beta1 on Kubuntu 15.10, Plasma 5.4.1.

Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2015-10-08 16:25:04 UTC

if you can't open it in dolphin it's a pb with dolphin no ?

Confirmed. 
KMail2 v 5.01 and Dolphin v15.08.1 running in Manjaro-15.09 (updated till date).
It is a very useful feature, far better than printing a mail into pdf before saving. Please give priority to this feature.
Thanks in advance.

Yep but it's a dolphin bug no ?
so you assign to kmail but it's not kmail bug
=> reassign it

Comment 5 Marco Gamberoni 2015-11-21 11:17:41 UTC

It is a kmail bug. 
Example: I put a saved email from kmail in 
  /tmp/filename.mbox
Then from a shell:
$ kmail --view /tmp/filename.mbox
results in a "Error - kmail" popup saying
   Il file o la cartella file:/tmp/filename.mbox non esiste.
which in english should be "The file or folder file:/tmp/filename.mbox does not exists".

Opening the same file from kmail menù File | Open command succeeds.

It works here, I remember that I fixed a bug about it in 5.1
