[opensuse-kde3] kmail probs in 12.1
did a fresh install of 12.1. started with kde4, added the kde3 repo, clicked in the kde3 pattern, added a few more files, things seem just fine.ok, browsing is fine, multimedia is fine, system seems very crispy, adding 32bit hal did the trick for a few things, still can not get to pring to mu usb printer thru the host in virtualbox but can if i allow direct access to it from a vm, libreoffice comes up and seems to work fine, lifer seems fine! time to move kmail. copied the Mail folder from the old home directory, used conqueror as a super user, then changed all the permissions to the correct user. Copied the kmailrc file to the right spot, also the kmail folder from the old .~kde/share/apps location. Things seem to workat first. even the addressbook seems fine; alas, they work too good. The longer kmail stays open, the more duplicate emails i get! some i get more often than others! At this stage i am very reluctant to set the flag to "remove the messages from the server", first need to find out what part of kmail i broke. the setup is reasonably simple. The isp is roadrunner, they run windoze pop servers. my account has a total of 5 sub accounts. i have no local servers installed, just the default setup. the emails are saved in maildir format. The steps described above have worked for many many transitions in the past. any suggestions where to look ? I would hate to go to kmail for kde4 or switch to anything else, it would be too traumatic for my honi. soo, any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance,, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

I only use kmail, so full "PIMers" may require more than this: these are the only folders I migrate to get an exact duplicate of kde3 kmail working, from my old (migrated from) folders: In your /(HOME)/.kde/share/apps folder: copy kabc, kmail, kwallet folders to your new install. In your /(HOME)/.kde/share/config folder: copy emaildefaults, emailidentities, kaddressbookrc, kmaileventrc, kmailrc, kwalletrc folders to your new install. Has worked fine in every migration since 10.3. Only thing I have to set up (manually) later is the spamassasin wizard in kmail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

thanks for the suggestion:) I will skip anything kwallet, i have a serious aversion to the indexing / sequestering of private info crap they have been trying to feed us for the past few years, in my conspiracy theory twisted world it all is a plot to make it easier for big relative to pick our little 'puters apart:)))), that's one big reason why i want to avoid kde4 and kmail2 and akonadi and the rest of the sheit it involves. i had forgotten to disable it before the first install on my system, and, when i tried to see what kmail2 would do with my heavily backed up kmail1.9 folders, i got so disgusted after 3+ hours of hard drive whirling in a 4 core cpu with 8 gigs of ram and terrabytes of hard drive space, that i killed 12.1. next time it will be without libstrigi and without akonadi, and we will see if the system can even come up at all... if it does, i will definitely try your suggestions. they seem to be more complete than my proceedures, still, you should know that my adressbook was passed along eventhough i did not copy kaddressbookrc in my first "official" 12.1 ... thanks again, d -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Rather than installing KDE4 and then KDE3.5, you might want to take a cleaner approach.

Thanks for the suggestion. i eventually tried it, but not before i stumbled on the kmail solution. kdepim3 in my ancient 11.1 is version 3.5.10-106!!! the kdepim3 that the kde3 PATTERN installs for 12.1 in yast is version 3.5.10-154, and THAT needs some work! fortunately, the work seems to be allready done in a version available from the OSS 12.1 repo (!!!!!), and that's version 3.5.10-11.1.2!!!!!! sooo, if one installs kde3 from the official repo, one might want to check on the proposed version of kdepim3 before installing, check on the versions tab in yast and change it, or, better yet, perhaps the gurus can set that to happen automatically. btw, running without akonadi and without libstrigi installed feels just fine:))) ALSO, there seems to be no hal at all installed, so there is no hald daemon option in system services, yet i have no problem with either the dvd drive or my usb printer:) and, btw, this is my first email from my 12.1 - kde3 system:) happy holidays, d -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Lol. It's not version, it's number of build. All kdepim3 packages are built from the same source (the version in 11.1 repo is slightly outdated and does not include the latest patches because currently KDE:KDE3 repo is built only for 11.4 and above). Once a new build target is added (say, new openSUSE release), the build number counter for that release is set to 0.
sooo, if one installs kde3 from the official repo, one might want to check on the proposed version of kdepim3 before installing, check on the versions tab in yast and change it, or, better yet, perhaps the gurus can set that to happen automatically. btw, running without akonadi and without libstrigi installed feels just fine:))) ALSO, there seems to be no hal at all installed, so there is no hald daemon option in system services, yet i have no problem with either the dvd drive or my usb printer:) and, btw, this is my first email from my 12.1 - kde3 system:)

the "pattern" install defaults to the 154 build. i think it should default to the 11.1.2build, which actually is *not* in the kde3 repo, it is in oss! sooo, perhaps the right build should be moved to the right repo, and the right build should become the default.

well, i copied all data and config files associated with kmail from the desktop to the laptop. the build # of kdepim3 on the laptop was 150 and it took all the data and has been stable for more than 24 hours, with update checks speeded up to one every minute. sooo, both the kmail data and config seems fine, yet the same files kept creating duplicate files on the desktop!!!! BUT, after i added kdepim3debug to the desktop (build # 154 of both kdepim3 and kdepim3debug), in hopes of getting some info about what was happening, all of a sudden the duplicate copies stopped showing up!!!! i speeded up the update interval to 1 minute on the desktop, so far things seem fine after about 4 hours! now, i just udated the kdepim3 build to the state of the art build 154 on the laptop, it too seems to be rock steady after an hour or so, but, the laptop does not have kdepim3debug installed, so it seems that the desktop basically fixed itself in some very mysterious manner!!! would anybody care to hazard a guess as to what is happening here? d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

well, my saga with kmail contimues... maybe!!! the duplicates problem started showing up on the laptop as well. once the mysterious email from "unknown" appears, dated Wed, Dec 31 :13:59:59 1969 , containing either nothing or pieces of emails on the server,the error messages start, typical ones are : "could not read file, invalid response from server","the server said no such message", and the duplicates start to roll, not on all accounts... At any rate: the temporary(?) solution is to install thunderbird. so i started converting my kmail folders to mbox format, to transfer my existing emails, all 15 gigs of it. the process is 80% complete, thunderbird is up and running,most folders have been copied, this email is written in it, all that seems to be going rather well.. BUT NOW it seems that, when the kmail folders are in mbox format, the corruption stops! This probably is a coincidence, the problem seems to be parsing / communication with postfix(?), but i will keep tracking it and post the results. also, if someone has an idea they wnat to try, i will play, but i have not done any code since college, that's a few decades ago... happy new year:) d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

At any rate: the temporary(?) solution is to install thunderbird. so i started converting my kmail folders to mbox format, to transfer my existing emails, all 15 gigs of it. the process is 80% complete, thunderbird is up and running,most folders have been copied, this email is written in it, all that seems to be going rather well.. BUT NOW it seems that, when the kmail folders are in mbox format, the corruption stops! This probably is a coincidence, the problem seems to be parsing / communication with postfix(?), but i will keep tracking it and post the results. also, if someone has an idea they wnat to try, i will play, but i have not done any code since college, that's a few decades ago...
Gmail? For the past sevral days I also got "cannot execute command LIST, invalid response from server" but today all is ok again.
No, not gmail, i now run thunderbird. btw, those error messages somehow precede the looming catastrophy, at least that's how it worked in my case. couldn't be a virus, could it?
i guess i should post here too that the latest postfix seems to eliminate the duplicates issue. d.
Update: this morning kmail got it's lists scrambled again in 12.1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
