Dear maintainer, Since the update on 17.04 (KDE Neon Useredition) no new IMAP accounts can be added. The existing IMAP accounts can not be configured via the "Bearbeiten" (in german) button. The Setup dialog no longer appears. The error can be reproduced at any time. Versions: Linux: KDE Neon Useredition Kernel: 4.8.0-30-generic Plasma: plasma-workspace 4:5.9.5.1-0neon+16.04+build75 Kmail: kmail 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build20 Kontact: kontact 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build18 Akonadi: $ dpkg -l|egrep ^'(ii akonadi)'|awk '{print $1,$2,$3}' ii akonadi-backend-mysql 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build29 ii akonadi-contacts-data 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22 ii akonadi-mime-data 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build18 ii akonadi-server 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build29 ii akonadiconsole 4:17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build12 $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=neon DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="KDE neon User Edition 5.9" If you still need information from my system, please ask. regards Michael
additional info: The error is identical and reproducible in several Neon installations. Two virtual systems and one installation on real hardware are affected.
This is upstream bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379155
Hi Alex, a question yet, in which version exactly is the error in KDE Neon then fixed?
Hi Michael, the upstream BZ says: "Pushed by arojas into branch 'Applications/17.04'" This essentially means that if Neon maintainers do not care about backporthing this bugfix to 17.04.1 (should be trivial), we will get the fixed package when 17.04.2 is released. According to https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Applications/17.04_Release_Schedule this is expected on Thursday, June 8, 2017 Alex
Hi Alex, Thanks for the info on the 17.04.2 release where the error is fixed ;-) Michael
Exact the same with Ubuntu 16.04.1 and neon 5.8.6
Thanks for the information... waiting for the fix :)
Hey - I also came across the same issue. For adding any account, I guess the users are required to use the account wizard found under Tools menu. From there on the accounts and all settings w.r.t setting up the account works. However, if one needs to make any change to the account, one cannot select the account to be modified and click on 'Modify' in 'Configure Kmail' menu. Dialog box to tweak the account settings does not appear when once clicks on 'Modify'. At the same time if you want to add email accounts from the 'Configure Kmail' menu item, the same cannot be done as it does not provide any option to enter any server settings.
Thanks for the fix :) . It is working now fine again!!! Best Regards boospy
Thanks the problem is solved. The IMAP account can be edited again or create a new one.
