Public bug reported: Since KDE 4.12, Kmail offers the possibility of a folder archive, which can be configured in the settings of each mail account (e.g. IMAP resource). The folder archive feature needs to be configured with a base-folder for archiving and a strategy for archiving (by year, by month, etc...). Clicking on the button to choose the base-folder will open a new window with all available folders. This list is disabled (greyed out) and so it is impossible to choose a folder; also the OK button in this window is disabled. The search-box works as expected. As it is impossible to select a base-folder, this feature is unusable.
Following this KDE documentation http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdepim/kmail/backups.html it is necessary to create an agent for folder archiving. It is not possible to create such an agent: Opening the dialog to create new akonadi resources, the agent for folder archiving is greyed out and can not be selected for creation. The problem can be confirmed by multiple persons on serveral KDE installations. It can also be confiremed, when using a newly created system user without any old akonadi configuration, etc. Steps to reproduce: - Optionally: Create new system user - Open akonadi resource settings - Create a new IMAP mail resource - Enter necessary information for the IMAP resource - Switch to the "Folder archiving" Tab - Tick checkbox to activate the feature - Klick the button to select the base-folder for archiving --> A new window apprears with a folder list, which is disabled by default. ** Affects: kdepim (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kde kdepim kmail -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320516 Title: KMail folder archive unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/1320516/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
