Description mikael.salson 2011-12-23 11:28:49 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes, when entering a folder that contains unread emails, the unread emails disappear. I can't see them anymore. Some unread emails may also disappear while some other ones will remain in the folder.
I don't yet understand when the emails reappear but they eventually reappear in the same folder, still marked as unread (probably after a restart, but not systematically). That happens in any folder, the message may have been filtered or not.

Updating the folder is useless.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I have no idea how I could reproduce it. And I'd love to know how I could reproduce the messages reappearing.


Expected Results:  
KMail should (obviously) not hide unread messages.
Comment 1 mikael.salson 2011-12-23 11:38:27 UTC
The hidden emails appear in the folder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/new
Comment 2 mikael.salson 2012-06-02 18:56:39 UTC
I know no one cares but the bug still exists in kmail 4.8.3 on Kubuntu 12.04 LTS.

When unread emails disappear from the inbox folder they may eventually reappear in other folders (after filtration, I guess) but hours or days after. The unread emails may also reappear only when I enter the folder that contains them. But it is hard to know which folder contains the disappeared emails before they've reappeared! 

Please tell me if I can do anything for identifying more precisely the bug…

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:04:44 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
