Hi,
I have upgrade my system yesterday from 11.4 to 12.1 after some testing and most seem to work fine but I haven't tested KMail. I thought after it was delayed for so long it should work.
But after starting it the migration failed and the program crashed. I thought this might have something to do that I had a newer version of Kmail for some time (from Tumbleweed) so I removed all akonadi, kmail, kontact and so on settings and directories in my home directory and only restored the kmail folder and the kmailrc.
"Could not load the resource folder" or something like that?
After that the automatic kmail import still failed so I used the kmail-migrator which seems to work fine but if you start Kmail you have your folders but in them are only a few mails which can't really be accessed. Kmail seems to load forever.
Bug reports please!
And even the imap folders shown only some mails.
After running kmail-migrator Akonadi and Mysql had a high cpu usage which seems to have something to do with an error posted in console during running kmail-migrator.
Please let us know the error message from the migrator in the bug report
So do you seriously want people to upgrade or reinstall with a home directory from 11.4 and get all their mails messed up? Not everyone does a backup even if they should.
We're writing some KMail specific release notes to smooth the upgrade.
I mean even if there are not so many Kmail users it worked most of the time for me in the past. Not to mention that it is not so easy to import all your data from this Akonadi mix.
So isn't it possible to ship the "old" Kmail from 4.6 instead, like it was done in the past by the KDE team? Some bugs are not a problem imho but it really seems to be utterly broken and according to forum entries and the IRC other people seem to have the same problem.
No, unfortunately. We looked at this early on in the 12.1 cycle. In 11.4 we shipped the "old" Kmail from 4.4 with KDE 4.6, which sort of worked. Enough small changes in the runtime behaviour of kdepimlibs (while maintaining the promised binary compatibility of the platform) have accumulated since 4.4 that KMail 4.4 runs less reliably when using kdepimlibs 4.7 than KMail 4.7. We've got a thread on opensuse-kde@opensuse.org specifically for KMail/Kontact, please contribute specific issues so we can fix them in a prompt online update there.
