Moving a message into the inbox and back into the folder solves the problem for the specific message. Which "Ordnertyp" have the affected folders? mbox or maildir? Is your home directory (or your mail directory) located on an NFS mounted volume? If yes, then please check if the clock of the NFS server and the clock of your computer are in sync. Format is maildir. The directory is not located on an NFS directory (or any other type of network filesystem). I got the same problem here. The system is SuSE 8.1 with KMail 1.4.3 The mail folder is mounted with samba.

Is probably another program (procmail or another mail client) writing to
~/Mail?
The problem here is solved. It went away after I syncronized the clocks of the client and the server. Whenever I mark e-mails as read now, they stay marked. Obviously, Kmail reacts quite nervous to desyncronized clocks. By the way: SuSE 8.1 installs xntpd by default, doesn't start it. The ntp-doc package is not installed by default, you have to install it explicitly, otherwise there will be no docs at all for ntp. The man page will only refer you to the doc package. Many thanks to Ingo for the help. Thomas I've had this same problem and yes my mail folder is via nfs - the clocks are only out by 4min, will sync and check later. If this is the case this info needs to be in the kmail documentation/FAQ. I have had the same problem with Kmail 1.5.1 using a mail directory located on a nfs mounted volume. I syncronized the clocks and now everything works just fine. *** Bug 47562 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 58872 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 52676 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** the symptom isn't exactly the same, but the problem is the same: index out of sync *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 43931 *** |
