[opensuse-kde] kmail: How to restart configuration from scratch?
Since switching between kmail1 and kmail2 several times, it looks like my configuration is not clean and I see strange effects. So, I'd like to start from scratch. Could anybody advise me which files and directories to delete?

+1 I've moved to using Thunderbird recently, after messing up my kmail(2) setup. However, I like Kontact, and see myself moving back in time, so I'd like to clear out all the cruft and start afresh. I use IMAP, so setting up my accounts would not be difficult.

I feel your pain, having been force to use TB *coughcough* much earlier in the kmail2 cycle. Right now my advice is that POP users don't use kmail2. I've been concentrating on apper, next week I will shift to Kontact so that we can do a prompt online update to 12.1. I am largely happy with IMAP + server side filtering. The one glitch is that sometimes the IMAP resources get stuck after suspend/resume, despite a signal indicating that they should reset their connection after a resume. There are some changes that annoy me vs kmail1, such as * entering an imap mail folder does not refresh it, you need to F5 * address completion requires entire words, not arbitrary substrings * with a folder view filter active, mail state changes cause the filter to update immediately (so Unread mail disappears from the filtered list once you've read it. If you are using kmail2, please help me compile a list of these for the 12.1 FAQ.

Kmail puts the "special folders" (Inbox, Sent, Trash, Drafts) at the TOP of the folder list, then the rest of the IMAP folders in alphabetical order. Kmail2 puts them *all* in alphabetical order, including the aforementioned special folders, which is a *major*PITA* (IMHO - YMMV). I like my special folders at the top of the list. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

What are the known problems with POP? At the moment I am a pretty happy user of kmail with a couple of pop accounts and filters. Until a couple of weeks ago pop with kmail was (in my experience) unusable, but since a few weeks it is working, although at times a bit slow when processing many messages. (I am still in testing phase though, leaving messages on the server and having TB as backup.)

To more or less repeat the question which Cor asked, I would also ask what the problem with pop3 is at the moment. Before 4.7.2 I agree, because there kmail2 lost mail when downloading from a pop3 account. But since this is fixed, my only real annoyance is that when directly filtering mails sometimes mails get doubled (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282296) Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Not 100% sure, but I think nuking the following stuff should give you a fresh start (hope you have backups). ~/.config/akonadi/ ~/.local/share/akonadi/ And of course a bunch of files related to mail, identities etc. in ~/.kde4/share/config/ and ~/.kde4/share/apps/ (these are prolly data only, no configs) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

That's exactly what I was just forced to do in order to make kmail2 work at all (I guess I had some mess from trying older versions in my system). And it helped.
