[Kde-pim] Debugging Help: KMail Checks for Permissions After IMAP Delete

[Adrien Guillon]

Hi All,

I've spent a couple of days swimming through KDE PIM source code, and I'm 
stuck.  We've found a bug in KMail IMAP support.  If a user does not have 
permission to delete a message on the IMAP server side, and the user deletes 
the message in KMail... the message is "deleted" in KMail, and then returns 
an error after the email is gone that the message could not be deleted... the 
check needs to happen first.

There are some fundamental things about KMail design I don't understand, and 
haven't been able to really figure out:

1)  What is the interface between KMail and the IMAP kioslave ?  It seems that 
there is an event handler, and that the kioslave stuff happens at scheduled 
intervals... (makes sense)...

2)  Is this issue going to go away with akonadi, since I presume that KMail 
won't use the kioslave directly anymore but will use akonadi?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I would like to be able to debug 
this myself, but got stuck along the way....

Thanks,


AJ
