Description Thomas Rasmussen 2004-02-04 21:45:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

Hello there!

1. Using KDE 3.1.3 - no props
2. Upgrading to KDE 3.1.94 using Mandrake RPMS
- First time i start KMail I accept conversion of mailfolder to ~/.Mail
- From now on all emails that went through the conversion get unknown subject and dato and No subject when I click on them to view them in KMail.
- Emails received after the conversion isn't affected by this problem.
3. After upgrading to KDE 3.2 using Mandrake RPMS from cooker the problem persists.
4. After reading old bugreports I tried to delete .*.index, ,*index.ids and .*.index.sorted in ~/.Mail. When I do this and open KMail the emails are shown OK until I click on them and we're back to the same problem. It still only affects email received before the conversion.

I'm very sorry, but that's a Mandrake specific bug. In the official version still ~/Mail is used so this bug doesn't apply to the official version. Please send your bug report to Mandrake.

I am sorry to tell you that I can confirm the bug at Suse 8.2 too. I used the Suse's RPMs, and I have the same problem. The emails are not actually "deleted" from the ~Mail, since when I open a file I can see the source of the mail.

Non-issue: this is intentional. The files aren't deleted until you compress your mailfolders.

The same happens with Debian Sarge...
Why is it intentional ??
How to restore EASILY my emails ??
