--- Comment #4 from John Baldwin <j...@freebsd.org> --- RFC 3501 contains a BNF at the end that specifies this for a flag name: flag-keyword = atom atom = 1*ATOM-CHAR ATOM-CHAR = <any CHAR except atom-specials> atom-specials = "(" / ")" / "{" / SP / CTL / list-wildcards / quoted-specials / resp-specials list-wildcards = "%" / "*" quoted-specials = DQUOTE / "\" resp-specials = "]" So it does seem that at least ']' is invalid though '[' may be valid. However, I wonder if those brackets are just in the dialog your test program showed you and not in the actual flags on your server? I did a manual IMAP connection to my Cyrus IMAP server and examined one of the e-mails in question. I don't see any flags with brackets in their name: 4 select "INBOX.njvine" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen $Forwarded KMAILFORWARDED KMAILTODO KMAILWATCHED KMAILIGNORED $TODO $WATCHED $IGNORED Junk NonJunk $REPLIED) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen $Forwarded KMAILFORWARDED KMAILTODO KMAILWATCHED KMAILIGNORED $TODO $WATCHED $IGNORED Junk NonJunk $REPLIED \*)] * 763 EXISTS * 0 RECENT ... 4 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed 5 fetch 763 all * 763 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) INTERNALDATE "23-Dec-2014 16:04:26 -0500" RFC822.SIZE 29456 ENVELOPE ( <redacted> )) 5 OK Completed (0.000 sec) As you can see, the only flag on this message is \SEEN, and yet kmail refuses to consider it read. In akonadiconsole I can confirm that I do not see \SEEN as a flag for this message even though the server reports \SEEN as set above. Interestingly, the modification time of the message in akonadiconsole is right now (Jan 5, 15:32:48 UTC) though it reports a revision of 1 (and the message itself was marked read via a different mail client (probably Mail on iOS) about a week ago). With the volume of e-mail I get each day on various FreeBSD lists, this bug has made kmail useless for me since things are only counted as read reliably in kmail on my desktop at home if I only ever read e-mail on my desktop at home. Entirely defeats the point of using an IMAP server for mail. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
