Hi all. Not sure if this is directly relevant to Suse or whether I should be asking this on a kde-related list but here goes. I'm using KMail 1.9.6 on 10.3 (KDE 3.5.7) running a Dovecot IMAP server so that I can access my email from my desktop or a couple of laptops on the lan.
For some reason the size value in the folder list (I assume this is the size of each mail folder?) does not reduce in value when messages are deleted from a folder, but continues to increase each time a new message is received.
For example I currently have 5 messages in my inbox totalling around 24k in size but the folder list tells me that my inbox is 915kB.
I don't know if this is a bug with KMail and the way it interacts with IMAP servers, if it is a bug with dovecot perhaps reporting incorrectly to KMail or what.
I have previously tried running Cyrus IMAP but gave up on that a couple of years ago - dovecot was so much easier to get running.
Whilst this isn't a showstopper (and I can get around it by disabling the size column in the folder list), I'm wondering if anyone else on the list is running a similar setup and may have noticed this behaviour (perhaps even with a different IMAP server)?
Same setup, same behaviour, but if i have a look into the directories on the server, the size is as expected. And the numbers are different, like: ffiene@proxy02:~/Maildir> du .linux.kernel/ 36 .linux.kernel/cur 0 .linux.kernel/new 0 .linux.kernel/tmp 2404 .linux.kernel/ In KMail: Folder linux/kernel: 158.6MB Regards -- Frank Fiene / IT-Services Fon: +49 2526 29-6200 Fax: +49 2526 29-16-6200 mailto: ffiene@veka.com www.veka.com VEKA AG Dieselstr. 8 48324 Sendenhorst Deutschland/Germany Vorstand: Andreas Hartleif (Vorsitzender), Dr. Andreas W.
