Bug ID: 343873 Summary: Unable to retrieve most emails in a folder loaded from an archive Product: kmail2 Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: message list Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: ame...@amenex.com Platform is Trisquel 7, an Unbuntu derivative. Motherboard is an Intel D865GLC with 3GB of memory, recently upgraded to 4GB (moved to another identical motherboard). Emails were retrieved from a network attached storage drive, to which the profile had been uploaded from a WinXP, SP3 installation running Thunderbird email client. Emails that are mostly irretrievable are from a folder containing ca. 13,500 emails. These are all OK in the original installation. Total about 800MB. There were many duplicate emails which KMail atttempted to remove. I can repeat the transfer process if need be and if some trials are anticipated. KMail 4.13.3 is the version; installed from the Trisquel repository with apt-get. Here is the complete error message, which I get every time I try to open an email in the folder list and the loading fails: "Unable to fetch item from backend (collection 0): Unable to retrieve item from resource: Invalid item retrieved" This is what I get for about 95% of the emails that I have retrieved from various sources. No other error messages are apparent, even with dmesg in Terminal. One much larger folder (several GB) will not open at all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load various email profiles to NAS - all in one folder; 2.Retrieve with KMail; KMail grabs every profile in one "go;" 3.KMail organizes everything automatically in Trisquel 7 installation; 4.Attempts to read any email in most folder gives error message; 5.Most messages are irretrievable; some folders are OK. Actual Results: Shall I erase all 10GB in the KMail installation and start over ? This is a days-long process. I'm reluctant to stick my finger in the piranha tank again anytime soon. -- 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
