Bug ID: 303913 Severity: normal Version: 4.8.4 Priority: NOR Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Summary: maildir 'new' directories aren't empty Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux Reporter: mikael.sal...@gmail.com Hardware: Ubuntu Packages Status: UNCONFIRMED Component: general Product: kmail2 According to Wikipedia : “When the mail user agent process finds messages in the new directory it moves them to cur (using rename() - link then unlink strategy may result in having the message duplicated) and appends an informational suffix to the filename before reading them.” So I understand that I shouldn't see any file in the new directories. However I have a few ones: $ find ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ -type f | grep -c '/new/' 3902 They are not duplicated messages. Meaning that these messages, as far as I can see, are not in the cur/ directory. One of them, for instance, is new/1342795373.R533.basilic:2,S and we can see that the informational suffix has been appended. I can also see this message in kmail and it cannot be distinguished from other messages (in the same folder in kmail) that are stored in the cur/ directory. I'm definitely not a maildir expert but that seems to be a non-standard behaviour. I'm also wondering if this can explain the following bug I filed several months ago : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289657 Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Most messages are put in cur/ directories. I don't know what prevent some of them to go there! -- 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
