--- Comment #16 from Kai Krakow <kai kaishome de> 2009-03-11 18:42:07 --- So reading the URL from comment #15 I have another suspect: kmailrc handling is completely okay, but the filesystem may destroy it. I'm running on XFS, not Ext4 - but it probably has the same behaviour (consistence over preservation), as I read XFS zeroes out files with unwritten data blocks during log replay. So a good idea would be to keep a backup of the original file which kmail should use if the current file looks unusable. I assume kmail already tries an atomic update by creating a tmp file and then renaming to the original file name. Should be easy to rename the original file to the backup first. This is not strictly atomic now but with my suggestion kmail can easily recover from the missing-rc-file-case by using the backup if no standard rc file can be found. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
