SUMMARY After logging in the the KDE Plasma session, if Akonadi begins to automatically archive e-Mails before the KMail2 client is started, in my case by means of Kontact and, I also didn't start Kontact, then, the automatic e-Mail archive fails with "Can't open Mail Folder". Manually triggering the planned e-Mail Archive via KMail2 results in the planned Archive being successfully executed. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login to a KDE Plasma session where Akonadi is automatically started. 2. Don't start Kontact. 3. Wait. OBSERVED RESULT The automatic, planned, e-Mail Archive errors and, the bzip2 Archive file contains only a few bytes of rubbish. The expected Archive size is several hundred MBytes. EXPECTED RESULT The planned automatic e-Mail Archive should be executed by Akonadi without having to rely on the KDE Plasma session user starting either the KMail2 or Kontact application. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Leap 15.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.9.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION An unexpected, from an archiving view, more than fatal, Akonadi behaviour.
Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.2 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 Archive Mail Agent Version 5.14.2 (20.04.2) Since the upgrade to openSUSE Leap 15.2, I am no longer experiencing this issue.
