Description Stephan Althaus 2002-11-08 13:57:29 UTC
Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-SMP

I have two email-accounts. On check mail, when I recieve mail from the first, but no mail on the second, the status bar shows "no new messages". This is true for the last visited mailbox, but not for all.I expected the count to be the sum of all newly recieved emails.greetings, Stephan Althaus

I think I may have found a cause for this -- there is a file called "kmailrc" that contains, among 
other things, a count that kmail -believes- to be the current count of total and unread messages, 
but for "some reason" [crash?] it is inaccurate.  In my case, I have more messages in the folder 
than the kmailrc file lists, which causes wierd things to happen in the folder tree [incorrect 
"unread" counts] 
 
Is there a way to easily resync the kmailrc file, or is a manual correction in order? 
 
To avoid this problem in the future, perhaps the "compact" operation should re-evaluate the 
folder counts to ensure these values are correct [as well as expire, or maybe even a general "idle" 
thread that detects when you aren't really doing anything with the system...]  Certainly closing 
the program should verify and re-write the kmailrc file to ensure accuracy...

#1 is something completely unrelated.  
And the original report is a missing feature 
Comment 3 Björn Ruberg 2009-12-15 01:21:16 UTC
And it is confirmed.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
