present all the way up to kmail 4.9.97 a riff on bug 310899 - synchronisation problems Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. (sometimes) sent mail doesn't appear in the sent folder until kontact is closed and reopened 2. folders have to be exited and re-entered to update (a bit like dolphin's precursor used to behave) 3. nepomuk is reported not to be running on using the binoculars (but search works, however) 4. activating nepomuk in system settings works but it seems to drop out 5. using the search box works once but the folder has to be exited in order to use again 6. for an example of the update problem please see screen shot (if I can add it): - I have a filter set up to automatically delete email sent by a source that I don't want to unsubscribe from - so wastebin shows undeleted items - however the wastebin has been emptied and there are no items read or unread Actual Results: kmail2 is not updated until manual intervention Expected Results: automatic maintenance
Created attachment 76485 [details] illustration of synchronisation problem
I closed and re-opened kontact - et voila - see attachment
Created attachment 76486 [details] kontact re-opened
still there with 4.9.98 further example: filters do not work automatically manual method sort of works cntl-A (select all) -> message -> apply filter -> apply all filters nothing happens until deselecting select all - then messages are correctly sorted to folders
If one receives an email at the same time as one sends an email, while the email isn't lost it only becomes accessible after closing and reopening kontact - a variation on the above comment on the action of filters
the problem occurs in 4.10.0 release "550" inbox not updating properly folders not displaying right information - e.g.,, my wastebin is empty but showing two entries
Created attachment 77568 [details] wastebin not empty - apparently
occasionally get the same email appearing twice in inbox/folder after filtering (i.e., two with identical date/time stamp) inability to delete second copy - got "resource broken" each time I tried to delete it - as ever exiting and restarting kontact/kmail restores everything to expected state with email deleted or ghost copy (an early kmail 2 phenomenon IIRC) removed, take your pick
wonder if related to bug 279440 bug 306954 bug 315559
Inbox -> Search <string> -> cntl A -> drag to new folder -> leaves originals in inbox
Gerry, thank you for your report. It related to a version of KDEPIM that uses Nepomuk. It is no longer maintained. If you still see any synchronisation issues, please open one new bug report per different issue you are seeing. Please also research first whether similar bug reports are open against a current version. Ideally latest 15.08 if you can get it already, otherwise 4.14.latest. Thank you, Martin
