Summary: Useless error messages Product: Akonadi Version: 4.7 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: IMAP resource AssignedTo: er...@kde.org ReportedBy: li...@michael-holtermann.de CC: vkra...@kde.org, kdepim-bugs@kde.org Created an attachment (id=68726) --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=68726) Log from akonadi_imap_resource, remote service is GoogleMail Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux Hi folks, today one of my Akonadi agents stops working - the agent fetches GoogleMail via IMAP. On every sync I'll get a notification saying "Unable to list item parts". This message (like many others, like "NO unkown namespace") is pretty useless for the unambitious, normal user. There is no guidance available in how to solve such issues. The Akonadi Console, a developer tool displaying frightening warnings wen started, names the error as Unknown Error: "AgentBase(akonadi_imap_resource_9): Unbekannter Fehler. (Unable to list item parts)" How can I solve the error of "Unable to list item parts"? For details I'll attach the debug output from Akonadi Console of that resource. I'm sorry that I have to say that, but currently I'm very dissatisfied with Akonadi. Akonadi is a vital part of KDE. KOrganizer depends on it; if Akonadi fails, the PIM suite fails, too. Akonadi should be much more fault tolerant if the remote resources does not work as expected, or should guide the user to the current settings if client's config is faulty. In my opinion, Akonadi is far away from being "rock solid". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: at least on my machine. Actual Results: - A useless error message without any advice about a possible fix. - A software (Akonadi) producing new errors once a month, while user has not changed anything in his settings. Expected Results: - A link to a FAQ, or at least a FAQ or answer that could by found by Google. The first link on Google is a link to a diff where 'mwolff' inserts that Exception into Akonadi. - If a serious exception occurs, Akonadi should no longer try to fetch that resource over and over again (my sync interval is 1 minute). It might lenghten the interval, but after a few tries it should notifiy the user *once*. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
