Hmm! what's the alternative ? having inconsistent data (IMHO not acceptable for business use) or manually delete the local imap information to trigger a reload.

The attachment icon is only for information so I don't think that it is a problem that it is only updated when you once clicked on the message. Even deleting the local cache doesn't help as we only load the headers and they don't tell you if the message has an attachment.

Perhaps it's worth a thought: We're (optionally) showing question marks if the signatur/encryption state is not yet known for a message. Perhaps we can use a special icon (somehow a question mark too) for not completely downloaded messages / downloaded headers? This would indicate clearly the state to the user. However I don't know how difficult it is to implement that.

BTW are the messages + attachments cached locally - I have the impression that not. There are 2 things I am concerned off 1) not showing the user,that there is an attachment (because kmail does not know/check it 2) useless traffic, because i do not need all attachments downloaded.

It seems that this is already a known issue upstream https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80995 From reading that thread it doesn't sound like a fix is likely anytime soon ** Changed in: kdepim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Also affects: kdepim via http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80995 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- kmail doesn't always show attachment icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289875 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 289875] Re: kmail doesn't always show attachment icon
But it's different from how kmail worked in Hardy or any previous Kubuntu. Let me try to be clearer: 1. Any email I've received since the upgrade shows the icon (if it has an attachment, that is), even though I've quit and restarted kmail many times since the upgrade. 2. Any email I received before the upgrade and have not clicked on to read since I upgraded does not have the icon. But if I click on such a message containing an attachment, the icon suddenly appears. The key observation is that from that point forward that particular message always displays the attachment icon, even if I quit and restart kmail. So kmail is not making that decision from scratch every time I start it: somewhere, it is storing the results of whether a message has an attachment. The problem is that the upgrade must have deleted this information for all of my old email, or the new kmail is failing to properly interpret the information as it was stored previously. Either way, that's a bug. A somewhat independent question is whether one could get kmail to go back through all my old emails and re-calculate that status of each message. If the bug arises by deleting old information, then that would be the only way to repair the status of old emails. But if the bug is a failure to properly interpret old formats, it's simply a question of fixing the application, and the status of the old mails will be fixed without any additional effort. This bug is one that makes a difference in practice: I might have received hundreds of emails from Joe and yet only two messages contain attachments. In my experience, a mail with an attachment is much more likely to be one that I'll want to return to later, so this represents a significant piece of information that saves me considerable time in finding the message I need. -- kmail doesn't always show attachment icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289875 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am not sure, but this appears like a feature to me, checking all mails for attachments can take hours with a rather big collection of mails (say a business account).

[Bug 289875] Re: kmail doesn't always show attachment icon
Upon further inspection, it seems that this problem is confined to older messages received before I upgraded to intrepid. Once a message with attachment is clicked on, I can quit Kontact, restart, and the icon for that message is properly displayed. However, messages that have never been clicked on do not have the icon. -- kmail doesn't always show attachment icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289875 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdepim in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
