Description Lastique 2014-06-29 21:41:27 UTC
Kmail doesn't seem so save the cursor position in the message list across restarts. For some reason it initially selects some old message in the list. I can't see the pattern which message it selects, it can be a week or a month old.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Kmail.
2. Select some message in the message list (I typically select the most recent one).
3. Quit Kmail and start it again.
Actual Results:  
Kmail selects some random message in the list.

Expected Results:  
Kmail should select the message I selected before closing it.

I can confirm this bug.  I believe it showed up when I first installed KDE 4 in Fedora.  It persists to this day.  I'm on kmail 4.14.2.

(I just reported another irritating bug vaguely related, bug 341114.)
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2017-06-23 19:56:26 UTC
This bug has never been confirmed for a KDE PIM version that is based on KDE Frameworks (5.x). Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the oportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.
Comment 3 Lastique 2017-06-23 21:24:22 UTC
Due to many bugs in Kmail and PIM and apparently no support for it I stopped using Kmail long time ago, so I won't be able to test. The same goes about the other bugs I reported or participated in.

This bug still persists.  It has never been corrected.  My current version is:

    kmail-16.12.3-1.fc25.x86_64
    kmail-libs-16.12.3-1.fc25.x86_64

Thanks for the update; reopening.
Comment 6 Bastian Senst 2017-08-22 19:10:54 UTC
I can also reproduce this with kmail 17.04.2-1.7 from openSUSE Leap 42.3. What kind of additional information can I provide?
Comment 7 Justin Zobel 2022-11-08 06:49:55 UTC
