</div>Hi Gene,<br>
<br>
First, I do not have problems with filters, I use them to sepearate mails from <br>
lists and in some cases mails from certain senders into folders.<br>
<br>
I use only IMAP accounts.<br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">So do I, Anders, but when I'm all setup, fetchmail/procmail will deliver the imap data</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">to a local maildir, where kmail will pick it up and sort it. Historicly that has <br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">been synced by an inotifywait seeing that file closing and sending the</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">old kmail a dbus msg to go get the mail. This removed the long pauses</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">where the old kmail was frozen in the middle of typing a reply for however <br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">long it it took for kmail to fetch new mail, reducing that freeze to a few</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">milliseconds. I have the fetch part working, but not the dbus part yet.</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">But really, I wanted to ask if you are familliar with akonadictl, which is a <br>
tool to maintain akonadi? You can start, stop and restart akonadi, and also do <br>
a vacuum (remove empty data rows) and fsck (checking and repairing data <br>
structures), both of which helps cleaning up your data. I rarely need to use <br>
it, but during problems it has been a great help.</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">No, I am not familiar with that tool, and Unforch, akonadictl is not in the <br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">bullseye repo's.</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">There is also a tool named akonadiconsole, which is more like a debugging <br>
tool, it allows you to inspect your data graphically. I can't remember when I <br>
last needed to use it, but that too have been helpful in understanding <br>
problems during troubled periods. <br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">That is present in the repo's and installed. The khelpcenter docs however</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">are not in the repo's, I just searched using about 7 search recipes.<br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">Finally, since akonadi is only a proxy for the data, removing it's databases <br>
and files does not lead to data loss. If everything is really fucked up, that <br>
may be worth considering, even if it means setting everything up from scratch.<br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">The akonadi console runs, and shows me things in abbreviated format that</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">means little or nothing to me without docs.</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;">How does one register that as a showstopper bug?<br>
</div><div class="rteDiv" style="border-left: 3px #CCCCCC solid; padding-left:8px;"><br>
