Summary: Kmail loses mail when it freezes after I'd moved some to
an other folder (DIMAP). DATA LOSS.
Product: kmail
Version: 1.10.0
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: szotsaki gmail com
Version: 1.10.0 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 26.8", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_Factory)
Compiler: gcc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae
When I use Kmail I receive mails only in my "Inbox" folder, nowhere else.
After reading I move them to different folders.
But Kmail freezes a lot of times, and here's what happens:
- Kmail deletes the message from Inbox folder immediately after I had made a move
- Kmail crashes (probably under synch.)
- After the restart the messages ARE NOT in the appropriate folder (because Kmail crashed) but they aren't in the inbox folder either
- Plus: after this the program uploads the whole affected folder to the mail server (which means in some times 50-60MB upload!), sometimes duplicating the existing mails on the server (and only there, in the program I don't see the duplicates). The folder counter is decreasing meanwhile but after finished, it downloads only a fragment of the all letters (eg. from 400 only 20).
This is a very annoying and _dangerous data loss_ which happens to me every 5-6th day, so very-very often.
