[opensuse-kde] Kmail sending new mail to wastebin/trash
Kmail has stopped honouring my filter settings, and is sending new mail to the wastebin. This includes mail for which there is no filter defined, that should end up in the default inbox. Some mail tagged as spam by Spamassassin *does* end up in a "Quarantine" folder. This behaviour started when I upgraded to KDE 4.5, but for a number of reasons this upgrade was unsatisfactory, so I am back on 4.4.4 release 8, now. Kmail is version 1.13.5 Is this known behaviour, and can I fix it?

It shouldn't happen (to a vet, or a user), since there was no new KMail release along with KDE 4.5.0 - our KDE:Distro:Factory repo's kdepim4 package is 4.4.5. 1) Did the mis-filtering stop when you reverted KDE to 4.4.4? and if so, 2) Did you keep the config files used under KDE 4.5 or restore them from a backup? If so, there is some regression in kdepimlibs 4.5.0. If not, either the problem is caused by a change to your filters made by upgrading to 4.5 that persists when the same files are used with 4.4 (see answer to 2)) or it was a latent problem that only just manifested now for who knows what reason. Assuming it is still a problem, does it go away if you revert the config files to backup (or recreate all your filters, if you don't have a backup)?

No
and if so,
2) Did you keep the config files used under KDE 4.5 or restore them from a backup?
Kept the 4.5 config files.
If so, there is some regression in kdepimlibs 4.5.0.

I have a backup :) Which file in ~/.kde4/share/config/ do I need to restore. I'm guessing it's kmailrc.

Well, a closer look at kmailrc confirms that it's the one with all the account and filter settings, so I've restored a backed up version, and all seems to be working as expected, so far.

Do you fancy installing 11.3 + KDE 4.5.0 VM and copying your config across to reproduce the bug so we can try and fix it? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236775 seems to be the same behaviour. In any case, can you describe your setup there (bogofilter in use?) to help diagnose the problem?

Yes, I can create an 11.3 virtual machine in vbox, and install KDE 4.5.0. I'll tackle that tomorrow.

I'll take a look at that bug report as well. I'm not running bogofilter ATM, though I have used it in the past (before this problem).
