I have selected one of the IMAP folders for my sent messages. When I send an email, kmail does save a copy of the message on the IMAP server in the right location. However, it saves it as an Unread email, and a few seconds later it informs me that I have a new unread mail. (The mail I just sent.) Also, any other email clients connected to that account show a new unread message in the Sent items folder. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In the configurations, Identity menu, properties, Advanced tab: Select the Sent items folder on the IMAP account for the Sent items location. 2. Send a message from that account/identity. Actual Results: The message is saved as a sent message in the IMAP folder as "unread". Expected Results: It should be saved there as "read", even if I haven't read it.
I can confirm this for KMail 4.9.2, coming with Kubuntu 12.10. Since upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 all messages are stored as unread in sent folder. (The notification can be disabled in 'Folder Properties' -> 'Act on new/unread mail in this folder'.)
I can confirm it on 4.9.3 on Gentoo as well.
Confirmed on KDE 4.9.3 on Gentoo. Although it doesn't seem to happen everytime I send an email.
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.
I don't know. I stopped using kmail because this bug was ignored along with a number of other IMAP problems at the time.
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.
