Description Jay Scherrer 2002-11-22 23:33:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

After leaving kmail running, some new unread mail looses it's subject and all other data. And if you click the next message to be read, it to gets posted as unknown. On down the list.

Please try to remove the index-file (~/Mail/.<foldername>.index*) of this folder after 
backing up your Mail-dir

Jay, are you still seeing this issue with kmail 1.5.2?

Subject: Re:  After leave kmail running: older mail gets named unknown.

Yes.
I've just installed rh9 with Kmail 1.5 (Using KDE 3.1-11 Red HAT).
apparently the .inbox.index and the .inbox.index.ids within the Mail directory 
gets corrupted. 
My solution: 
Once I see messages listed as: 
	Sender: unknown 	Sender: unknown  
I immediately shut down Kmail and delete the files .inbox.index and 
.inbox.index.ids from the Mail directory, then I restart Kmail. Everything is 
fixed. I hope this helps.
Jay

it's surely one of the more annoying problems, but so far there is no pattern when it happens
