Bug ID: 319161 Summary: kmailcvt doesn´t seem to import mail read/unread status correctly Classification: Unclassified Product: kmail2 Version: 4.10.2 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: NOR Component: misc Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: mar...@lichtvoll.de Marking it as critical, cause I see mail unread/read status as important data that the import process looses. On my second attempt to migrate from KDEPIM-1 to KDEPIM-2 I imported old mails via KMailCVT. I pointed KMailCVT at ~/Backup/Mail-Alt which is a copy of my old KMail ~/Mail folder. After having faced Bug 319157 - Excessive I/O usage during mail import with KMailCVT. and apparently worked around it with an akonadictl restart and after having it sort some, but not all stuff in file_db_data into the Maildir: martin@merkaba:/home2/martin> date ; du -sch Akonadi/* Nepomuk ; du -sch Akonadi/Datenbank/db_data Akonadi/Datenbank/file_db_data Mi 1. Mai 13:10:57 CEST 2013 6,3G Akonadi/Datenbank 72K Akonadi/Konfiguration 2,6G Akonadi/Mails 543M Nepomuk 9,3G insgesamt 2,5G Akonadi/Datenbank/db_data 3,9G Akonadi/Datenbank/file_db_data 6,3G insgesamt and after Akonadi appears to be idle while there are still 3.9 GB of mails in file_db_data, I still see more than 7500 mails in my inbox. Including lots of mails I have definately read. Same goes with other folders. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh KMail2/Akonadi setup 2. Import old KMail1 ~/Mail 3. Wait for it to complete or for Akonadi to be idle in process list. Actual Results: Mails unread/read status does not reflect last state in KMail 1, although index files have been available in the original imported ~/Mail. Expected Results: Mails unread/read status is imported, just like then pointing a mixed maildir resource to the directory. The directory does not contain any mbox files. I think I will try just this, as a *third* attempt. I will point a mixedmail dir resource at my old mails. And use the existing local folders resource for new mails. I might try to move some folders over, but maybe I just will retrieve new mails in Local Folders and keep the old one in the mixed mail dir resource. Sorry, but migrating from KMail-1 to KMail-2 is nowhere near end-user ready. Not at all. Thats at least my experience. I hope the third attempt will work. -- 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
