Adding some more details to the report:
Add new Mbox account specifying Filename /var/mail/$user
(on Kubuntu, /var/spool/mail is link to /var/mail)
Optionally change Display Name (default is $user)
Leave other settings as default, in particular:
Enable file monitoring
Compact every 50 messages
Lock method None
Use mailx to send message to $user
Get several occurrences of these messages in Notifications:
$user: The MBox file was changed by another program. A copy of the
new file was made and pending changes are appended to that copy.
To prevent this from happening use locking and make sure that all
prog...
$user: The file 'file:///var/mail/$user' was changed on disk while
there were still pending changes in Akonadi. To avoid data loss, a
backup of the internal changes has been created at
'file:///home/$user/...
[Is it possible to see the complete text of a popup message in Notifications?]
Delete message (move to wastebin)
Use mailx to send another message to $user
Get notifications as above
Both messages appear in Kmail folder (the first message was deleted, but has
re-appeared).
It's possible to stop deleted messages from re-appearing by changing the
"compact every" setting to 1 message.
It's not possible to stop the error messages from appearing when mail is sent
to $user. Kmail1 has FCNTL locking, but Kmail2 doesn't. None of the other lock
methods in Kmail2 (Procmail or Mutt) are applicable.
Also, Kmail1 has a Destination Folder setting for an account, but this isn't
available in Kmail2.
