Version: 1.6.2 (using KDE 3.2.2, (testing/unstable)) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-xfs I don't know, how come, most likely it was an incomplete shutdown (hang), and now everything is lost: 5 identities, 6 incoming and outgoing accounts, dozens of filters, a hundred addresses (kaddressbook), some distribution lists. I had the same problem once with pegasus mail (windows), but I thought, that the xfs file system is more stable that vfat. Are there any plans of making kmail safer towards data loss after crashes? (backup files e.g.) Thanks Raga
This will have to be solved in a KDE wide way, i.e. in the KDE libraries. About xfs (and other modern file systems): Those FS try to guarantee the integrity of the file system, but most of them can't guarantee the integrity of the data that's written.
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
