Version: (using Devel) Compiler: gcc 4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources - Launch Kmail - Click on 'New' button - Enter a recipient email address, a subject and a few lines - Go to Message menu/Send Mail or click on 'Send' button - The email window becomes greyed and after a few seconds an error message appears: 'There was an error trying to queue the message for sending. The error was: Append failed' - Click on 'Ok' The email window is closed but the email is not send at all whereas this should not happen. This is a regression since yesterday I was able to send mail with rev 1123669 Trunk, Svn Rev 1124075
> 'There was an error trying to queue the message for sending. The error > was: Append failed' Sometimes in these cases, you can get more detailed error messages by looking at the console output (if you started Akonadi and KMail from a console).
Sabine, can you post your ~/.kde4/share/config/mailtransports file?
Created attachment 43444 [details] my mailtransports file Hi Sergio! Here is the file you ask me for. Trunk, Svn Rev 1125123
The message box doesn't come up anymore, but I see this in the logs: Maildir: Failed to add entry: "/home/sabine/.local/share/.local-mail.directory/outbox/new/{78d5f85e-940d-41d6-b3bc-b811703ce0c8}" ! Can't find much before that. There's a whole lot of nepomuk noise, and before that: kmail(3420)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollections::hasCollection: Type "outbox" resourceId "akonadi_maildir_resource_11" kmail(3420)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsRequestJobPrivate::isEverythingReady: All requested folders already known.
I retested this today and I do not the error message anymore however, the mail is still not sent at all. Here are the steps to reproduce: - Launch Kmail - Click on 'New' button - Enter a recipient email address, a subject and a few lines - Click on 'Send' button The Composer dialogue closes but the email is not saved in the 'Sent-mail' folder or any other folder. Moreover, the recipient never receives the email. Please correct this bug as quickly as possible since it prevents me to test the composer dialogue properly. Trunk, Svn Rev 1125510
I reported bug #237279 about the fact that the email is not saved in the 'sent-email' folder. Trunk, Svn Rev 1125510
I made some fixes, which fixed my problems. Please delete all smtp accounts and create a new one. Look at the attachment and follow those settings. (other settings might work too, but lets start with a config equal to mine)

sabine, is the mail left in your outbox folder? If the mail is not sent (that is, if it never arrives at the destination) it should be in your Outbox folder. If it does arrive at the destination, it should be in the correct sent-mail folder (as of a few hours ago, this funtionality has been fixed).
Thx Sergio! I followed your set up advice and the mail is sent fine now. Leo, we've discussed this issue since then (thx for your help!). The save in folder and the sending email are two separate issues. See bug #237279 for more details. Trunk, Svn Rev 1125914
This still doesn't work with r1126573. Mails are not sent and don't appear anywhere. akonadi_maildispatcher_agent(6915)/libakonadi Akonadi::GetLockJob::Private::tim eout: Timeout trying to get lock. akonadi_maildispatcher_agent(6915)/libakonadi Akonadi::SpecialCollectionsReques tJobPrivate::lockResult: Failed to get lock: "Timeout trying to get lock." akonadi_maildispatcher_agent(6915) OutboxQueue::Private::localFoldersRequestRes ult: Failed to get outbox folder. After David restarted the akonadi_maildispatcher_agent by hand, it worked again, (some of) the queued mails were sent.
This issue is definitively linked to Akonadi server. I reported a different and more detailled bug report(see bug #237973) since this is not the same bug as before (regression). I am closing this one. Trunk, Svn Rev 1127799
