https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323066 --- Comment #14 from piedro --- Sry I missed Martins comments completely, at his time I moved away from KDE as there way too much fixing involved which interfered with my work. I cannot comment on that any further, I remember that akonadi created mail folders in .local/share even if I defined the folders elsewhere and that after crashs or forced shutdowns of akonadi, it would start using the .local/share folders instead of the custom preset... Sry thats all I have. I am not using KDE anymore. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Since you write that this still happens with KMail from KDE 4.14.2, can you please summarize in a short and precise way what the issue is and *how* to reproduce it? Thank you, Martin I do have: martin@merkaba:~/.kde/share/config cat ./akonadi_maildir_resource_0rc [General] Path[$e]=$HOME/.local/share/local-mail TopLevelIsContainer=true KMail stores mails in there just fine and minus write caching I do not miss anything in there. I also experience no mail loss whatsoever as far as I am aware of. I try to get this reassigned to the right component in case I get granted the bugzilla fu to do that or I ask someone who has. But first I need to understand whats going on. -- 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

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323066 --- Comment #7 from piedro piedro.kul...@googlemail.com --- I found the following misbehaviour. Though I can't confirm this fixes the problem I am confident it has a lot to do with it. If in the file ~/.kde4/share/config/akonadi_maildir_resource_15rc there is the entry TopLevelIsContainer=true things seem to work (somehow though there are still double entries in the kmail config dialogs choosing folders for trash for example). As I understand this entry should be standard now and it unclutters the recurring subfolder structure in .local-mail.directory (which is a good thing I think) For reason beyond my grasp the TopLevelIsContainer=true entry gets removed from the akonadi_maildir_resource_15rc file by the akonadi GUI tools to configure agents. So if I open akonadi configuration and press change on the local folder agent (just to see how it is configured), confirm it points to the right maildir (.local/share/local-mail) and then close the dialog the entry TopLevelIsContainer=true is removed from the akonadi_maildir_resource_15rc file? This is a big problem because basically it means you can't use akonadi console or akonadi configuration to do stuff. How can this be fixed (there must be a default settings file somewhere that theses dialogs use, right?) ... ? please devs, would someone start commenting on this problem? thx, piedro -- 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

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323066 --- Comment #3 from Fred Jackson fredrick.o.jack...@gmail.com --- How odd: in comment#2, pedro is unable to find a newly created folder or it's content, but on my machine, it is the default folders which cannot be found on disk. I have created a filter COPIES any new emails to a folder I created and then actually deletes the original. This was the only way I could force kmail to put new emails on disk. I had to copy all of my OLD content to newly created folders in order to force kmail to store my email archive on disk so I can back it up in a format I understand and can manipulate to my satisfaction. Note to core developers: I'm guessing your intent was to migrate kmail's storage scheme from the traditional Maildir format to the new nepomuk/akonadi database format. in my humble opinion, this is a step in the wrong direction for more than one reason: 1) corruption of a single bit in the database file would destroy the entire email store. 2) the new format is not compatible with anything else, and as far as I have been able to discover has no tools with which I can create ANY backup whatsoever of the email archive. If i can't store my emails on disk (maildir) and cannot backup my archive with a cron script and I cannot even export my archive to a format usable by other email programs..? I'm terrified that my next kmail issue will be the end of my email archive which, believe it or not, contains over seven years of email. -- 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

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323066 --- Comment #4 from piedro piedro.kul...@googlemail.com --- I also start seriously fearing that kmail becomes destructive and I start loosing mail again (like it it happened before two years ago). At the moment (though as I stated before I completely deleted and reconfigured the akonadi agent local folders the problems seem to multiply: - now another folder testing2 which I created within kmail created and shows up under .local-mail.directory - this is the only folder showing up here and to my surprise there are no mails in this folder though there are in the folder testing2 in kmail (no furthter hidden folders to be found on the harddrive location ...) - the trash folder isn't found anymore by my mail accounts. why? Now reconfiguring is easy though annoying for 10+ email accounts - in the dialog to choose the trash folder every standard local folder shows up twice! (double checked akonadi console: only ONE local folders agent seems to be present ... ??? - after reassigning a trash folder (one of the two) i can delete trash again and it shows up in my trash folder ... but now when trying to move mail from the trah fodler to another folder I get the no valid collection found error ... after a while this error just went away but neither the trash folder nor the trash mails show up anywhere on my harddrive - which is really unaccptable as Fred pointed out before ... - also the settings dialog for identity now states that no valid templates folder can be found. Funny thing is: this seems to be the same dropdown list for choosing the correct folder like the one when choosing a trash folder ... BUT here I don't get double entries for loacl folders to summarize: it's completely messed up and I don't know how to access my archived email (in a local folders backup) again, reimporting, again, seems no valid option as the results are unpredictable ... just throwing them in the correct folers to let akonadi agents reindex them can't be done because the respective folders aren't found anywhere the disappointing part is, that I was just hoping kmail finally was getting there and I started to use it - now I shouldn't have just like Fred I have many archived mails (20 000+) for reference with longterm projects I am involved with and I need to access them ... So plz can someone comment on whats going on, will this be fixed, has the maildir format really changed as Fred suspected (read above) is there a workaound ? thx, piedro -- 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

I use ARCH and have also 4.10.5 KDE: WHen I create a new folder in kmail this folder shows in kamil and i can work with it (move, copy mail delete and so forth). But when I look under .local/share/local-mail there are some folders but not all (especially the new ones are missing though they work in kmail!) ... I created a folder testing and made sure that akonadi uses .local/share/local-mail for local folders: - the folder testing doesn't show up under .local/share/local-mail ( - the folder testing (and none of it's contents!) does NOT show up in .local/share/.local-mail.directory which should be the correct place to my understanding - when i do a systemwide locate or find I can't find the folder testing (or it's content!) anywhere! ??? - everything is in place in Kmail - which I don't trust if I can't find the actual files somewhere ... Is this a bug? if yes it is a huge one. and a big regression if no than how are mails saved (or atre they only present in the database? - should only store metadata afaik ... ) sry I am lost here, plz help someone or clarify, thx for reading, piedro -- 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

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323066 --- Comment #1 from Fred Jackson fredrick.o.jack...@gmail.com --- an additional mystery: it seems that any folder I create now, is stored on disk at the local-mail directory (specified by the properties on the Local Folders account). any content copied from my originally imported folders which are not stored on disk to a newly created folder, is put on disk. so I have found a workaround. So the real problem may be that the kmailcvt doesn't import content so that it is stored in the local-mail folder. My inbox folder is still not archived to disk but I can remove my content from the inbox to another folder without too much trouble. It seems to me that we should have control over the option to store our email in maildir format, if not for the live store then perhaps an export utility? -- 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
