Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux For a long time kmail does not display sender's picture in the decorative view in the message list from kaddressbook: see Bug 236352. Now with the akonadi based kmail, kmail shows the pictures again. But kmail shows just the sender's pictures witch are already in the addressbook (added from an older version of kaddressbook). New added pictures are shown in the kaddressbook preview, but not in the message list. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: adding a picture to a contact. looking in the message list for a mail from this contact Actual Results: No picture will be displayed in the decorative view! Expected Results: The picture will be displayed in the decorative view! OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-12-generic Compiler: gcc
Sorry, I mean: ... But kmail shows just the sender's pictures which are already in the addressbook (added from an older version of kaddressbook). ...
could you send me a screenshot where you show a picture on mail please.
Created attachment 64813 [details] Example for an sender picture in Kmail2 (generated with an older version) I have attach a screenshot with a picture on mail.
We use nepomuk to store info. Perhaps you have a problem with nepomuk
Thank you for Your information that nepomuk provide the picture for kmail2. So perhaps new added pictures to contact will not recognized in the nepomuk database.
or perhaps that you nepomuk doesn't work :)
But I can see the pictures, which failed in Kmail, in Kopete. Furthermore I can attach an other mail address to an contact with picture, which is already displayed in Kmail: The picture is shown at once for the new added mail address in senders list. So, Nepomuk seems to work, because for Kopete nepomuk provide the pictures too, or isn't it?
I don't know if kopete use nepomuk to access to picture.
Work fine here. You must add picture when your nepomuk works.
OK, some more details: Nepomuk seems partly to work, because creating a new contact with picture at an other PC (with an older version of kaddressbook [rectangular pictures]) and then transferring to ~/.local/share/contacts on the current PC makes the picture after update the contacts visible at once. But, updating the picture of an contact with picture at an other PC and then transferring to ~/.local/share/contacts on the current PC cannot make the picture visible! So, nepomuk at me seems not to update a already existing contact.
Now I found the difference, if a picture will display or not display. At work most people use exchange and a few one use other mailer. In all mail from exchange the sender's picture were not display. If the same person use an other mailer with the same mail address, e.g. an automatic mail generated from bat, the picture for this person will be displayed!
