Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs seems like the summary page autoupdate bug is back.
Works fine here (3.5 r477777). It updated on its own.
well it doesnt here (kde 3.5 rc2 packages made by suse). also, no passive window with "new mails" when new mails arrive.
hm. when kmail does the check for new mail on its own, it doesnt update the summary page, and it doesnt pop up a notification for new mail. when i check manually by pressing ctrl-l, it updates the summary and pops up the notification window.
btw, where do i see the exact kde version, like that "kde 3.5 r477777" up there?
You have: "RC2".
is that newer or older than r477777? and btw, i narrowed it down a bit... updating of summary, as well as the creation of popup notifications (and thus, making kttsd holler at me) DOES work for local accounts (/var/mail/username files). it does NOT happen for new mail arriving in imap accounts. and since local mail in /var/mail is only output from cronjobs and such, and ALL "real" email for me happens in several imap accounts, this is sort of annoying.
Yours is newer.
that doesn't necessarily mean its better. happens all the time that old bugs reappear... anyways, it seems that this bug is a heisenbug, or a mandelbug, as the more and more i try to narrow it down, the more and more random it gets. http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/heisenbug.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/M/mandelbug.html
here's another fun fact about this: when i change into an imap folder that has gotten new mails lately, AND another new mail since kmail last looked for new mails in that folder, the notification window comes up, and the summary is updated when i switch back to summary.
and yet another detail: kmail tray icon shows new mails have arrived, but summary still says "no unread mail". so i switch to kmail by clicking on the mail button on the left, and back to summary without opening any of my accounts... and the mail summary gets updated. remember, all accounts affected by this are imap accounts.
upodated to todays release version... and its still the same.
bug is still there in 3.5.2
Just for the record: On open SUSE 10.1 with KDE 3.5.3 I have this problem, too (like in all previous 3.5.x releases on the previous SUSEs): The summary component doesn't display the new mails in my IMAP account, or only unreliably with quite some delay. Which makes this part of the kontact summary pretty useless :-(.
updated to suse 10.0 and kde 3.5.3, its still there. and i wholeheartedly agree with comment #13.
suse 10.0 and kde 3.5.4 by now, bug still here. could someone at least ACKNOWLEDGE this bug?
It works fine on svn trunk r867544. If it reappear reopen this bug
reopened... bug is back in kde 4.2.3 !
bug still exists in KDE 4.3.1 !!! If that is not confirmation enough then I Don't know what would be.
bug still exists in KDE 4.4.3!!!
*** Bug 222742 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Got a new mail on a pop 3 account and another in google, but summary does not report them. The funny thing is that the mail component in kontact does, but not the summary.
Works nicely in recent kontact versions. Closing
