            Bug ID: 318234
           Summary: KMail sometimes does not update source folder view on
                    move or mark operations unless restarted
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.2
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: Martin at Lichtvoll.de

Sometimes, it seems when Akonadi is under load, I see this:

Whenever I move a mail or click on the icon for marking a mail spam via a 
manuel filter which moves it to the spam folder, the mail does not disappear 
from the source folder of the move operation until I restart KMail.

It does appear in the destination folder tough and then it seems I have a 
duplicate mail. After restarting KMail all is fine tough.

Also marking a mail as read does not yield any visible change until I restart
KMail.

I also tried viewing the folder in Akonadiconsole, but there the progress 
sign didn´t disappear.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Akonadi under load or whatever else is needed to trigger this. Trying
after having triggered retrieving lots of new mails from POP3 resource or on
initial indexing all mails triggered this for me.

2. Move a mail to another folder.
3. Mark a mail as read
Actual Results:  
2. Moved mail case: KMail does not delete the mail from the source folder
message list, still when showing the destination folder it usually appears
there. Thus the mail appears twice, once in the source and once in the
destination folder.

3. Mark mail case: Marked as read mail still appears as unread.

Expected Results:  
2. Mail move case: Mail is removed from source mail folder message list
immediately or at least marked as being in the process of being moved.

3. Mark mail case: Mail is marked as read immediately.

Immediate feedback to the user is crucial IMHO.

This is being discussed at:

[kdepim-users] KMail not updating source folders on move operations unless
restarted
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdepim-users&m=136569681820899&w=2

According to O. Sinclair this is also been discussed on the developers
"kde-pim" mailing list, but I didn´t find it right now. Since I didn´t see this
reported in Bugzilla, I reported this. In case I missed a report, sorry for the
duplicate.

I use the following setup:

1) I had all mails in ~/Mail

2) I moved all recent mails from ~/Mail to a newly created BTRFS subvolume
~/.Mail so that I can snapshot it. I moved all the archived mails to
~/.Mail-Archiv, as these are mbox folders.

3) Then I let the migrator run so that it puts my account information into
kmail2rc.

4) For each POP3 account I use I created an extra maildir agent pointing it at
the maildir and then selecting "Synchronize All" in Akonadiconsole. Thus for my
main account Lichtvoll I gave it ~/.Mail/Lichtvoll as maildir directory for
example:

drwx------ 1 martin martin        18 Apr 11 08:33 Lichtvoll
drwx------ 1 martin martin      4106 Apr 11 17:28 .Lichtvoll.directory
-rw------- 1 martin martin   4312743 Apr 11 08:33 .Lichtvoll.index
-rw------- 1 martin martin     33909 Apr 11 08:33 .Lichtvoll.index.ids

For local mails I created:

drwx------ 1 martin martin        18 Jan  2 11:36 Lokal
drwxr-xr-x 1 martin martin       528 Apr 11 09:50 .Lokal.directory

and copied all the local mail folders into that.

5) I imported my filter rules back to this new setup, set inboxes for mail
download to the right top level maildir directories and so on.

Size of setup:

martin at merkaba:~> find ~/.Mail | wc -l
431234
martin at merkaba:~> du -sh ~/.Mail
6,5G    /home/martin/.Mail

The KDEPIM-2 packages are from Debian developers, but they are not publically
available in official Debian repositories. I test them for for them.
