[opensuse-factory] IMAP: Can't delete emails in kmail
Hi! After POP3 and filtering emails has been broken by KDE Applications 16.12, I switched to IMAP. Now, I can read the emails (phew!), but I can not delete them. I filed a bug report here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376156 In the right click menu, the lines about deleting are grey. Funny enough, if kmail suspects an email to be spam and offers this field »Papierkorb« (»trash«), clicking on this moves the email to the trash folder. By the way, there is an other bug, changing the trash folder prevents kmail from starting, see here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339214 or here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=120777&hilit=trash Any ideas, how to delete emails from the kmail side?

There's a know quirck, what happen if you remove the option, empty trash on quit. I've that setup and no more crash of whatever. (Sorry to read that's still the case after at least one year and a half) Otherwise, beside there's a focus keyboard that come from QT which doesn't allow you to select a message and use shift+delete directly, you can only use the del key or right clic delete or suppress. Work nicely here with 12 imaps account on TW 20170208. http://i.imgur.com/b19dhvZ.jpg Okay I'm a bit special as I'm using a global postgresql db (for good reasons) with all mail or part stored directly in the db. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

No, I never used this option. However, turned it on, closed kmail, off again, no change: can't delete email on IMAP account. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Something like this happens to me occasionally on Tumbleweed, too (much more frequently in last week or two, in particular, almost always after resuming from suspend to disk): either a mail stays in place after an attempt to delete it or a mail stays marked as unread after displaying it. This works around the problem for me: - quit kmail - run "akonadictl restart" - start kmail again Hint: I suggest to open a new shell that you close right after running the "akonadictl restart" command, otherwise it's going keep polluting your terminal with various messages. It's annoying and I'm pretty sure it's not The Right Thing but so far it always did the trick for me.

No need to run "akonadictl restart", just "akonadictl stop", which will prevent the pollution with the massages. Start kontact or kmail on your desktop, which will start akonadi. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

At the moment it works fine for me in KMail with the latest code (not yet released) with 4 IMAP accounts. FTR, how many messages did you try to delete at once?
field »Papierkorb« (»trash«), clicking on this moves the email to the trash folder.
I assume you find this unexpected? What would you have expected instead?

Well, at least someone cares about a patch!

One.

To me, it seems surprising, that I can not delete manually an email. But if the SPAM-filter offers deletion with this clickable field, it works. I expected that deletion would not have worked at all.

I did not mean this to dismiss the problem, just to mention that I could not reproduce it reliably (occurred for me - but quite a while a go - only with very large batches of mails to get deleted).

I assume your trash folder is in local folders? Are these the same local folders that gave you issues with POP? -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: A29D259B

No, after I found out that deleting of messages doesn't work, I switched the trash folder to the IMAP trash! And this caused kmail to crash. You know, there is another bug: If you change the trash folder, kmail won't start again. There is an unresolved, seven years old bug, see here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255104 And it's not only me, please see the other users who complain. However, somebody closed the bug report "worksforme". Yes, the realms of kdepim are strange. However, I redirected trash to the IMAP trash. And after making kmail start again and deleting the SPAM message (as described in another email), I found that message in the IMAP trash folder. So, in principle it works. If you search for »undeletable messages« in kmail, you'll find dozends of messages about the issue. Users installed akonadiconsole and try to fix it in the browser of it. Doesn't work. I hit a lot of bugs of kmail and akonadi in the last seven weeks. POP3 and filtering ceased to work, kmail randomly downloaded messages and akonadi crashed hundreds of times. This is better now, after I started experimenting with IMAP. But redirecting of the trash folder is an issue and deleting messages as well. And I never walked alone! Whenever I hit something, I found other users complaining about the same bug.
