I'm running a cyrus-imapd server (version 2.4.16) on Ubuntu 12.04 (without Kolab). I set up akonadi/KMail to access my imap account on the server. Getting/Reading mails works just fine. When i try to the mail expiry properties for a folder i get the error Failed to write some annotations for 'myfolder' on the IMAP server. SetAnnotation failed, server replied: AXXXXXX NO Permission denied I get this error message exactly four times (with different AXXXX numbers). As far is i know imap agent should set the annotation '/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire' annotation (which is used by cyr_expire). The server error message suggests that the annotation is not understood or something is wrong with the SETANNOTATION command send to the server. For the folder in question i have the all permissions (imapacl in akonadi console: myname lrswipckxtdae %% myname lrswipcda). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up cyrus-imapd mail server and account 2. try to adjust mail expiry properties for any folder Actual Results: server returns no permission denied errors Expected Results: aknonadi sets the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation and server accepts it.
The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
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.
