Summary: Trivial to fix, yet annoying: KMail loses emails on
crash
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: wwieser gmx de
Version:(using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler: does not matter
OS:Linux
KMail has a cool feature storing emails which are currently composed into
a file so that once KMail crashes and is being re-started, the unfinished
emails appear again.
This feature, however, has a bug:
Directly after re-start the file containing the unfinished emails is read,
emails are displayed as composer windows, and then the file is deleted. It will
be re-written after some minutes. If KMail crashes during that time, the
emails will be lost!
How to reproduce: Write an email, wait some minutes, kill KMail.
Re-start kmail, see the composer re-appear and immediately kill kmail again.
Re-start and you'll see your email has disappeared.
Solution: Upon startup, do not delete the file containing the currently
composed emails - or immediately re-write the file.
This is ANNOYING since I'm currently suffering a KMail-crashes-on-copy-and-
paste-bug which I will report separately once I have enough details for you
guys to be able to reproduce it.
So, PLEASE: Fix this; it's probably just a one-liner!
(And I've already lost several emails due to this bug.)
