[Bug 811340] New: Kmail (in Kontact): selected mails and attachments are inaccessible (although apparently still there - KDE4.10.1)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811340 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811340#c0 Summary: Kmail (in Kontact): selected mails and attachments are inaccessible (although apparently still there - KDE4.10.1) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Applications AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: stakanov@freenet.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0 Within the last month in selected POP3 accounts for selected days, the mails are inaccessible and so are attachments. Repeatable always. The bug hits selected days in specific mailboxes. It is random and hits apparently mail out of all mailboxes. Once a mailbox is "hit" by this bug, archiving fails also with "one message could not be archived" and the whole process breaks. Restarting of Akonadi does not help. Within the same mailbox (pop/local) there are let us say 5 days normal then the messages of one day are inaccessible, including the attachments. You can hover over, and the popup prevision shows a part of the text, it shows that it has an attachment but the latter is inaccessible as is the mail. It does not open, double click does not do anything. It may be that if the message before the one hit is selected it shows well, then if you go back on the compromised one, the preview stays on the message read beforehand but the popup preview of KDE changes. This bug MAY be related to the bug reported with "messages sent are vanishing" but it is by no means sure as the dates of messages in the sent folder vanishing and the ones of the date of messages you may not open anymore do not correspond. This is severe because you seem to have complete data loss (e.g. Payment receipts in attachment, order confirmations, whatever you need for documentation purposes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use KDE with Pop3 and several local folders 2. retrieve mail for one month 3. try to open these mails, some with attachment. Actual Results: The mail will refuse to open. The preview window either stays empty or displays the precedent message. The KDE popup help shows the correct beginning of the mail text, it shows also if an attachment is present. But you can access neither. Expected Results: Mail should open and attachment should be accessible, and displayable. Mails are documents and therefore important personal data that should have the same dignity as documents, faxes or pdf. Data loss in this way is not production ready, can have severe consequences and makes Kmail potentially useless. If this helps: since 12.1 the spell check underline function is broken. Since 12.2 the search function for mail in nepomuk is broken. Since 4.10.1 sent mails vanish and the received mails randomly vanish together with attachments. Make your own conclusions. Relevant info: this is a two user setup (on for post and one for surf). The switch is made with switch user. KDE version 4.10.1. Log in and out of KDE (as suggested in the KDE akonadi pages) does not seem to make any difference to the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811340 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811340#c1 --- Comment #1 from Stakanov Schufter <stakanov@freenet.de> 2013-04-10 08:57:31 UTC --- KDE version is now 4.10.2 and things continue to be worse. That may be a duplicate of 809095. I had the following issue (that manifested since the 1st of April (I do not think it is a developer joke, is it) and another user did encounter the same as it seams. https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/485... Beginning from the 1st of April 50 percent of my mail was directly trashed, I noticed only today. The only particularity I share with the other user is the fact of using a spamfilter. Bogofilter me, and spamassassin him. The problem persisted after eliminating all filters and creating them again. The problem vanished once I installed spamassassin and deselected bogofilter. Now, one day after the problem restarts. Some of the messages are not correctly filtered (without being able to forsee why). Some messages block in the moment of filtering and show the behavior as described in bug 811340 and 84188. With the new "feature" that the mails that are hit by the filter problem cannot be eliminated or trashed, nor can they be opened. I have a filter log installed, if somebody tells me what values are of interest I could try to document what happens when this error occurs. So maybe this is all the same filter disfunction: - messages are not readable but the popup shows the text partially - attachments are inaccessible in these messages - the messages cannot be eliminated or changed of folder - the filter do not work for mailinglist and some of the traffic (sometimes all of it) is send to the trash folder (regardless if there is a filter already set for the specific email). - change of spam filter engine does help for a short time and then it starts over. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
