[Kde-pim] KMail 4.11 does not work for me

[Ingo Klöcker]

Hi,

KMail 4.11 (openSUSE 12.3) is unusable for me. When I select a message 
in an IMAP folder all I get is the "Retrieving Folder Contents, Please 
wait . . ." message. On stdout/stderr repeatly
  kmail2(26325) MailCommon::Kernel::initFolders: Initialized and looking 
for specialcollection folders.
is logged. When I try to quit KMail it does not exit. I have to use
  qdbus org.kde.kmail2 /MainApplication org.kde.KApplication.quit
to shut it down.

Because of those problem with KMail 4.11 I tried to use KMail 4.10 (self 
compiled kdepimlibs, kdepim-runtime, kdepim) with KDE 4.11. KMail 4.10 
shows the content of the messages, but newly read messages stay unread 
and deleted messages stay in the folder. Neither switching folders nor 
forcing an update (F5) helps. Only a restart of KMail helps. After the 
restart read messages are no longer marked as unread and deleted 
messages are no longer shown in the folder. IIRC this behavior occurs 
with KMail 4.10 and everything else (including the Akonadi agents) from 
KDE 4.11.

Using Akonadi agents and KMail from 4.10 with Akonadi 4.11 proved to be 
worse because even after a restart of KMail read messages were still 
marked as unread and deleted messages were not deleted.

Those observations seem to point to incompatiblities between Akonadi 
4.11 and KMail 4.10. Of course, being out of the loop of KDE PIM 
development, my assumptions could be completely wrong.

In any case, I'm back to KDE 4.10.5 now and everything seems to work as 
well again as before my upgrade to KDE 4.11.0.

If you want me to debug anything just ask.


Regards,
Ingo
