DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT.. unless you know what you are doing

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

When I clean (see attached clean-kde.sh) my devel user's ~/ of all kde/akonadi files, then start kmail fresh with "kmail --nofork" it takes two sometimes three executions of this command for kmail to start successfully.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'bash clean-kde.sh'
2. execute 'kmail --nofork'
3. see the "starting akonadi server" progress bar appear
4. see the akonadi server self-test tool report errors
5. close the server self-test tool
6. execute 'kmail --nofork'
7. goto 3 and repeat until kmail starts sucessfully

It has taken up to 4 tries, for kmail to start properly.

Having KMail start up on the first run is important for making a good impression.
Comment 5 Leo Franchi 2010-06-09 15:09:31 UTC
Casey--can you re-test this? I think my recent changes to specialcollections during startup might have resolved it.
