Bug 508078

I was a little in doubt about where to post this, because it's basically an interaction.

What happened was that since last Wednesday my inbox folder stopped syncing. Only my inbox folder, everything else synced fine and I could send mail.

What fixed it was running akonadictl fsck

This revealed missing external files and unreferenced external files. After this, KMail synced again.

So one might argue this isn't a bug in KMail, but I actually think it is for the following user: No end user should ever have to run akonadictl fsck in a terminal. KMail should react to something going wrong in akonadi that could be related to missing external files and run akonadictl fsck for you. I consider it a bug because it effectively broke my ability to receive e-mail.

Here's what I got on clean-up:
