after I replaced disk, reinstalled everything etc. I recreated all Akonadi resources. This was fast and smooth apart of one think. I had bunch of expiry rules on my main IMAP account to download (move) old e-mails into local Maildir. I set KMail local folders to point to /home/vojta/.local/share/local- mail/ The settings dialog says it's valid Maildir folder. It has 14 GB. Everything seems to be correct, but KMail doesn't see the folders. Clearing Akonadi cache and trying to restart it etc. didn't help. Any idea how to make KMail reading valid Maildir folder?

I vaguely remember having similar problems. I don't really remember the details, but If I remember correctly for some strange reason you need to have a hidden folder, even though you're already below a hidden folder (~.local/). Again if I remember correctly someone told me this is supposedly expected behaviour according to some standard. E.g. I have my local mail in (note that "indbox.directory" is a hidden folder): /home/cb400f/.local/share/local-mail/.inbox.directory/ And the corresponding configured path for my local folders agent in KMail/ Akonadi is: /home/cb400f/.local/share/local-mail I hope this somehow leads to a solution. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I would try to force a sync manually in akonadiconsole. On the "Browser" tab, right-click on the corresponding account/folder and choose "Synchronize Folder" and/or "Synchronize Folder recursively" in the context menu. And of course, the user needs to be able to access the subfolders and files in the mail folder, so maybe check the ownership and access rights.

Other ideas: - Run "akonadictl fsck". Maybe it will help, or at least print some "interesting" error message. - Try to use a mixedmaildir resource ("KMail Mail Folder") instead of maildir. Btw, there apparently is a bug that might cause a erroneous "file:" being prepended to the maildir path when you set it in the config dialog: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408354 Maybe you are affected by this? You can open the config file (~/.config/akonadi_maildir_resource_Xrc) directly in a text editor to check.

This was the trick! Thank You! I'm just sure I had just one basic local maildir resource in the previous installation, so that I wonder why it didn't work here...

Yes, the default setup is to have one maildir resource (called "Local Folders"). Unless you migrated from a pre-Akonadi version at some point, which would have added a mixedmaildir resource for compatibility... ;-)

Yes, I can confirm it. I was wondering what is creating that file: directory.

Ok. Maybe that was/is your problem indeed. If the (maildir) resource tries to access the wrong path (with the stray "file:") at some point, it will fail to read the mails of course.

FTR, the issue has been fixed upstream and I just sent a submit request to devel project (and then TW) with the patch: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/780838

Thank You for the fix. I just missed if/what I'm supposed to do something with that ~/file: directory... can I safely delete it, or will it disappear itself...? -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/

It won't disappear by itself. Whether you can safely delete it, well that depends. The maildir resource may have stored emails there. Unlikely in your case, but you should at least check. But the fix only makes the "file:" not appear when you change the config, it doesn't change already existing configs (and as I found out meanwhile, the path is also stored in the database, not only in the config file mentioned earlier). So, you actually need to reconfigure the existing maildir resource. Or maybe better in your case, just remove that maildir resource and create a new one. That should be safe, removing a resource won't delete the files. If that helps, you could of course also remove the mixedmaildir resource then... Or keep on using it and scrap the maildir, whatever you prefer. ;-)

Hmmm... Before this issue arose, I moved all mails in KMail to the default local folders. It says it stores the mails in .local/share/ akonadi_maildir_resource_0/, but it's empty. On the other hand, ~/file\:/home/ vojta/.local/share/ does contain .akonadi_maildir_resource_0 and it has 12 G. :-) So it'll obviously require some juggling. :-) Thanks for clarification, V. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
