[opensuse] SuSE 12.1: KMail 4.7.2 unusable
I just transferred my emails from my old kmail to the kmail 4.7.2 in OpenSuSE 12.1 via import. Afterwards akonadi_agent_l is really going "mad". When I tried to resort the approx 65k of SuSE mailinglist stuff it went "mad" second time (I had to kill kmail and akonadi_agent_l). Sometimes nepomukservices, akonadi_nepomuk, akonadiserver also jump in and the (quadcore !) machine uses nearly 90% of CPU for that crap! What are these programs doing (I was not able to find a manpage for this on my downloaded 12.1)? Can I make them completely silent or switch them off? Currently thunderbird is much faster and usable and I am thinking of moving to thunderbird finally. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I guess this is the best alternative. Kmail2 seems to be some kind of a program but for sure not one that can be used as an email client. It's a shame, I really loved kmail and was forced to use thunderbird, which is ok, but (for me) not what kmail was before. I am searching big brother ggl from time to time about kmail2 in the hope that the complaints stopped and kmail2 returns to be a working email client as it was, but until now with no luck.

same here. 4.8.3 was largely a bugfix and stability update, and compared to 4.7.2 things got much better. even during earlier versions, i think from 4.5.x onwards, i didn't have as serious problems with kmail as many others did, perhaps because i keep all my mail in a local dovecot server, which doesn't get easily affected by kmail misfunction. since 4.8.3, even akonadi/nepomuk/strigi works well for me, without consuming too many resources -- and it does find files it has indexed, even though i don't use this feature much. but before i got all this to work, i had to start over with a fresh $HOME, since up to and during 4.7.x i had something messed up in my configuration which i wasn't able to figure out. since i installed openSUSE 12.2 on my working machine i started with a fresh $HOME, and everything KDE related works extremely well now. i think it's asking too much to expect a flawless upgrade path for all this akonadi/nepoumuk stuff; it's too complicated for this, and starting over does allow you to import your old data once you got everything working ok. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
Did you compile 4.8.3 of kmail from sources or are there rpms for SuSE 12.1? I managed to silence nepomuk indexing since I do not need it. But akonadi_agent_l still rattles on my harddiscs. So I killed it as root, I know that it will start again after re-login. :-( If it all fails I will do a $HOME-fresher also.

no, that one contains KDE 4.7.4 that was released with openSUSE 12.1. you'll find 4.8.3 in these two locations: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/48/ for the (supposedly) stable version, and http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Distro:/Factory/ for the 'K:D:F' i.e. KDE-factory version.

kmail very often hangs in SuSE 12.1 and then I have to kill it. :-( The KDE 4.8.3 stuff is currently downloading.

I went through this problem a couple of weeks back when I upgraded to 12.1. Kmail fell over and I did not have a clue how to get it working again. In an effort to get a working email client I tried all the email clients I could lay my hands on to find something usable. I came to the conclusion that nothing comes near to Kmail in respect to usability, so I ended up setting up a virtual using vmplayer with openSUSE 11.4 and kontact 4.4.9. No need to try and convert thousands to emails over to another email client and setting up all the filters again. I will wait until Kmail 2 becomes a lot more stable. -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

As I mentioned in my original post I tried all available email clients and found them far inferior to Kmail. Then there is the great effort involved in converting all existing emails over to a different format and then there is the problem with mail filtering. All this to end up with a crappy email client which does not meet my needs. I prefer my solution using the old version of Kmail until kmail 2 becomes stable, even if this means running it in a virtual. -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is in most cases and certainly if you only used maildir or mbox but did not mix them. All you need to know is where you email is stored. You skip kmail's automatic import and go to systemsettings > personal information > akonadi. There you add maildir etc. resources and point them to the folders with you email. Akonadi will then server that data to the clients. In case you mixed maildir and mbox (and only then) you have to use the kmail- folder resource.

Sorry again for the "top" mail format - I have to use one of those webmail things and these do not offer the normal mail formatting. :-( This is one other reason why I want kmail back! Current status: I installed KDE 4.8.3. But kmail still fails miserable: -mailfolders are there but mails are not displayed at all -it crashes when moving mailfolders So kmail 4.8.3 is still unusable. systemsettings > personal information > akonadi Resource Config shows double entries like Personal Contacts and Notes, I guess this comes from the update frmo 4.7.2 to 4.8.3 I deleted these and will try again with a complete new kmail from scratch. ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Sven Burmeister <sven.burmeister@gmx.net> An: opensuse@opensuse.org CC: Gesendet: 20:30 Samstag, 2.Juni 2012 Betreff: Re: [opensuse] SuSE 12.1: KMail 4.7.2 unusable Am Samstag, 2.

Like Sven mentioned Akonadi needs some time to recreate and read All mails (specially if you have many mails to download). The first thing it does is synchronize your folders with no mails inside. Once it makes some comparison what is local and what in your mail server the first folder to replenish should be Inbox ( it's my regular practice to not mess all mails around). Finished completely this phase, I usually go to refresh All Mails. This will sync the other mails on subfolders. And no more problems on my side. Hope this make your transition easier.

Even if akonadi runs for some hours, KMail (KDE 4.8.3) does not show any body of the messages. The header lines are displayed. I suspect that upgrade to 4.8.3 did damage something. @crash: if I move one folder and then another it crashes. If I restart, the 2nd moved folder is in its old location.

Hope this make your transition easier.

I found the directions below very helpful when migrating from one KMail version to another. This is quoted from The KMail Handbook 8.2 Clean start after a failed migration In case migration from KMail 1 to KMail 2 fails or you have weird problems after it, you can try to do a clean import of your data, instead of migrating the existing settings. Be warned, that needs more manual setup, so do only if you are confident with setting up again your KMail accounts, and it can generate a large amount of network traffic for IMAP resources. 1. Stop Akonadi and related applications quit KMail/Kontact/KOrganizer, and issue this command: akonadictl stop Make sure no Akonadi or MySQL process is running: ps ux | grep mysql ps ux | grep akonadi They should not show anything else but the grep process itself. 2. Remove old Akonadi database and config Delete the following folders • ~/.local/share/akonadi • ~/.config/akonadi Delete also the files starting with akonadi from ~/.kde4/share/config 3. Restart Akonadi server akonadictl start 4. Add back the accounts Now it is time to add back your account. You can use KMail (Kontact) for it, or you can use the akonadiconsole tool. In KMail: Settings → Configure KMail → Accounts and use Add. If you use IMAP, add a new IMAP E-Mail server. If you want disconnected mode (so you can read the mails offline), enable it on the Advanced tab. Be sure to check that you are subscribed to all your important folders. You might already see a Local folder resource. This points to a local maildir folder. You can either modify this to point to your existing maildir folders or you can add a new resource for local mails. When adding a maildir resource you can choose between KMail Mail Folder or Maildir. Unless you have a mixed folder containing both maildir folders and mbox files, you should choose Maildir. For independent mbox files, like the one in the /var/spool/mail, you can set up a new MBox folder. Add the POP3 accounts as well. In case you have multiple Local Folders set up, choose on the Advanced tab the destination folder where the newly downloaded mails are put. For all accounts, configure the mail check interval. For Local folders disable interval check- ing and also disable Include in manual mail check in the Retrieval options. Add the sending (SMTP) accounts. 5. Fix your filters, identities and favorite folders If you have client side filtering (common with POP3 mails), go to Settings → Configure Fil- ters and fix the destination folder for the filters, they most probably are wrong. Otherwise mails will end up in folders you don’t expect. Spam filter (at least in version 4.7.3 and earlier) does not work as expected in that the rule that the wizard creates does not send spam to the folder you have defined. The workaround for this is to change the ‘spam’ and ‘spam unsure’ (if the spam filter you use support that) from looking at Status-fields in the header X-Spam- Status to look Anywhere in headers for X-your spam filter -Classification: ‘SPAM or unsure’. Look at the filters the wizard creates and copy the ‘contains’ part. Example for Spambayes: ‘X- Spambayes-Classification: spam’ and ‘X-Spambayes-Classification: unsure’. You also need to verify the identity settings and set the sent-mail, drafts and templates fold- ers to point to the right folders. To do that go to Settings → Configure KMail → Identities, modify the identity, go to the Advanced tab and modify the above mentioned folder set- tings. Check also that your Favorite Folders are the ones you have chosen before. 6. Initiate a mail check Start a mail check for your accounts. It is suggested doing it per account. First do for IMAP, if you have. Next is to check (import) your local mails. One solution is to do a full check in one go File → Check Mail In and select the local account, the other is to click one by one on the folders, that should initiate the check for that folder (alternatively right click on the folder name and select Update Folder). The initial import might be slow and could use a lot of memory, especially in case you have folders with a large amount of mail. In that case per-folder check is preferred. In case the check (complete or for one folder) is finished and the memory usage is still high, you could restart the Akonadi server — as seen above — or just the maildir agent, if you use akonadiconsole. Do not worry, this high memory usage is only for initial import. Initiate a check mail for POP3 resources" Hopefully after these steps, you will have a much nicer KMail experience.

As I already wrote in my other article: Yahoo Web-Mail does not have any possibility to quote correct. Thunderbird is just a last resort if all fails. So quoting is a problem as long as I do not have KMail running. The sooner I get a solution with KMail, the sooner you get correct quotes from me. ;-) Thanks for the "The KMail Handbook" part. I'll try this. ----- Ursprüngliche Message ----- Von: Ricardo Chung <ricardo.a.chung@gmail.com> An: opensuse@opensuse.org CC: Gesendet: 3:45 Dienstag, 12.Juni 2012 Betreff: Re: [opensuse] SuSE 12.1: KMail 4.7.2 unusable On Monday, June 11, 2012 08:40:09 PM Peter Maffter wrote: ...

Like Sven mentioned Akonadi needs some time to recreate and read All mails
Why does it need so long for simple approx 900MB of old mails? Afair the former kmail from SuSE 10.3 simply took the old Mail-directory of the previous version and -bamm- there it was. Usable. Fast. ...
I found the directions below very helpful when migrating from one KMail version to another. This is quoted from The KMail Handbook
8.2 Clean start after a failed migration ...
I did all this and now at least KMail is able to start from scratch after it was not able to read the imported emails at all before. A "Start from Scratch"-Button would be very user friendly in this case. I imported the old mbox mails and the non-mbox mails into one directory. This is a nuisance since akonadi then starts doing it's stuff and using 40% of a Quadcore machine!

It was already suggested to me to use 4.8.3. That's what I use currently. I changed subject accordingly. Anyway - another 2hrs later it was finished but now all the subdirs are also missing and it looks like I have to import each directory from my trusty old SuSE 10.3 KMail. That is tedious and will take ages. I cannot sit in front of KMail and import emails for hours. :-( Is there some simpler and correct way to import the structure and mails of my old 10.3 KMail? Also when opening the old directories and some mails in them KMail takes 100% CPU and it takes approx half a minute before the email is readable. At the same time I am still looking for alternatives (beside thunderbird) since kmail up to now does not seem to be very usable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Worked here if you do not mix mbox with maildir. Kmail's "home"-format is plain maildir, e.g. not the kmail-folder resource. Sounds strange but it's true nevertheless. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So the new KMail cannot handle a mixture of mbox and maildir? But that is the case in my mailbox and the KMail from SuSE 10.3 happily accepted that.

But afaics this only opens a second directory with a somewhat better structure (hopefully) which can be referenced then. It is not an email client as KMail and I would have to keep 2 directories instead of one. As such I still would have the problem of finding a decent mail client which is the main problem currently. Are there any good import tools for evolution so that I can import the structure of my old kmail (mixture of mbox and maildir) easily? I tried evolution a bit and it seems like a proper replacement for my old KMail from SuSE 10.3 as long as KMail 4.X does handle the import of KMail 3.X stuff.

One question Sven: in some other posting you said: "In case you are still using the kdepim that came with 12.1 and did not update you might find the local folders not in ~/.local/share/local-mail but ~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory due to the maildir structure. So all you have to do with a "new" akonadi is point it to the data folders." See: http://opensuse.14.n6.nabble.com/12-1-to-12-2-kmail-import-export-td4966708.... Would that be possible with KMail 4.8.3 to just point akonadi to the old KMail 3.X mail directory at ~/Mail with the mixed mbox/maildir structure and akonadi sorts that out? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
