(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

when i start kmail old e-mails were shown as new one. So i must mark the old e-mails as read after starting kmail.

(Called from KBugReport dialog. Fields KDE Version OS Compiler manually changed)

Can you provide more information as to when this behaviour happens? For 
instance, does it happen all the time? Or only in certain occasions (like, 
after a crash)? 
 
Do all old mail messages get marked new? Or some? 
 
By the way, I get no such behaviour using KMail from CVS, so if you could test 
it as well, it would help a great deal.

Let me understand something: did this happen only once? Or did it happen every 
time you launched KMail?

This behaviour happens every time when I launched KMail.
Comment 4 Mark Richards 2002-12-04 05:45:53 UTC 
I have seen this problem as well.  Using multiple KMail versions from Redhat 
7.2, 7.3 and Mandrake 9.0.  It seems to be more of a problem with mbox folders 
instead of maildir.  For me sometimes messages do not get deleted either; they 
appear to be deleted until I open a new folder then return to the first one.  
When I return to the first folder the messages are still there.  Sometimes 
compacting the folder right after deleting the messages helps, sometimes not.  
I suspect it has to do with the fact that my home dir is NFS mounted.
Comment 5 Ingo Klöcker 2002-12-04 10:06:39 UTC 
To Mark: Yes, your problems are most likely caused by NFS (cf. 
http://docs.kde.org/3.1/kdenetwork/kmail/faq.html#id2838208)
