Package: kontact Version: 4:4.14.10-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? After starting kontact/kMail none of my existing e-mails were visable My mail dir is directly under my home dir as I've had problems in the pas with kde/kmail destroying mu archived mails so everything is now under /home/<myname>/Mail * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I moved the Mail directory sideways (Mail-old) and removed all the kmail/contact config from ~/.kde ~/.local etc and restarted kontact clean and created a basic config Then created a new sub-folder to import the old kMail content & started the import * What was the outcome of this action? My old archived email to be imported * What outcome did you expect instead? I keep seeing the following dialog Error: Could not add message to folder new. Reason: Unknown collection for '279'. There are THOUSANDS of these messages & no way to say YES to all or figure out what is wrong/broken I'm concerned that e-mails from my old Mail folder will not be imported Is there a way for me to export my saved data to another format (Evolution, IceDove, Other???) ias I'm really starting to worry that kMail/kontact is no longer a safe place for me to store my e-mails Destroying/loosing user data is IMHO a really bad thing :( -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kontact depends on: ii kde-runtime 4:15.08.3-1+b1 ii libc6 2.21-7 ii libkcmutils4 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkdecore5 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkdepim4 4:4.14.10-2 ii libkdepimdbusinterfaces4 4:4.14.10-2 ii libkdeui5 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkdewebkit5 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkio5 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkontactinterface4a 4:4.14.10-1 ii libkparts4 4:4.14.14-1+b1 ii libkpimidentities4 4:4.14.10-1 ii libkpimutils4 4:4.14.10-1 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-5 ii libqtwebkit4 2.3.4.dfsg-6 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-8 Versions of packages kontact recommends: ii akregator 4:4.14.10-2 ii kaddressbook 4:4.14.10-2 ii kmail 4:4.14.10-2 ii knotes 4:4.14.10-2 ii korganizer 4:4.14.10-2 Versions of packages kontact suggests: pn gnokii <none> ii kjots 4:4.14.10-2 ii knode 4:4.14.10-2 ii ktimetracker 4:4.14.10-2 -- no debconf information
