[opensuse] cannot see folders or accounts in kmail
Hi everyone, I am using OS 12.1 and kontact 4.7.2. I normally am using thunderbird but I had a working kmail setup in 11.4 with the corresponding version. I upgraded to openSUSE 12.1. some time ago. Today for the first time I tried to open up kmail, and upon migration I got the error "failed to fetch the resource collection" and it would terminate before allowing me to do anything. so I saw on another thread to delete the /home/george/.local/share/akonadi file for a calendar problem. I did that, and kmail started up fine. I set up to reconfigure my accounts, I don't need them to be exactly the same as was before, and so I configured them and they all connect to the server. However nothing at all shows up in the left side window of kmail that should show the accounts and folders. I have 2 imap accounts and 2 pop3 accounts. On the imap accounts, I have "show serverside subscription" checked, but if I click on the box to show which subscriptions to show, the list is blank for both accounts. Any ideas on where to look next or what to do? George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Just an additional note - I shutdown and restarted my OS, and then tried to open kmail again. Now I can see my imap accounts, but I get the error KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Failed to fetch the resource collection. The error box won't allow me to do anything except hit ok, and then kmail terminates. So I found this thread on http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/4678... Note #6 gave these instructions: 1) Just in case of further problems, back up your emails... I did it by compressing the folder ~/home/.kde4/share/apps/kmail maybe it is a good idea to do it too with the KDE addresses and calendar files (under /kabc and /korganizer) 2) Delete Remove the following files in ~/home/.kde4/share/config/ : kmail-migratorrc kmail2rc 3) Now in terminal or Konsole, try again with "kmail-migrator –interactive" and follow the steps. I followed those instructions and so far kmail is working again. George -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
