Bug ID: 344242 Summary: Mails that are copied do not appear on my harddrive Product: kmail2 Version: 4.14.4 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: folders Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: piedro.kul...@googlemail.com I created a folder in "Local Folders" called "Storage" and a subfolder called "Old" Now I move a few hundred mails to that subfolder. These mails should be located on my harddisk in ".local/share/.local-mail.directory/.Storage.directory/Old" but they are not. I see them in kmail, I can delete or copy them but they do not appear on the harddisk. The folder ".local/share/.local-mail.directory/.Storage.directory/Old" does exist but it is empty (apart from the three empty folders "new", "cur" and "tmp" of course) No further hidden directories show up. Now where is my mail? How can I physically locate it if it is not written to the disk (which it should!)? How can I make a backup of my mailfolders if the mails are not physically in there? Are they in a kind of cache somewhere hidden within the akonadi database? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a subfolder of a new folder in "Loacl Folders" in kmail... 2. copy mails into that subfolder 3. try to locate these folders on your disk Actual Results: No mails to be found... Expected Results: Mails should be sitting somewhere in "local-mail" or ".local-mail.directory" By the way if I physically copy mails in the subfolder ".local/share/.local-mail.directory/.Storage.directory/Old" these mails show up inkmail just fine beneath all the other mails that have no presence in that folder... This is an absolute awful bug because it makes handling mail out of kmail near to impossible (and kmail indicates in no manner at all where the mail is physically stored) If kmail would be a rocksolid system that works just fine with internal backups I might be reluctantly ok with that but kmail breaks all the time so at least the physical mail locations should be transparent for easy backups and the possibility to import everything into other mail programs. Even more annoying I also have folders in kmail with so called "invalid entries". These folders cannot be deleted within kmail and since they are not found physically I can#T delete them elsewhere either. -- 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
