Bug ID: 336971
Summary: Archiving Agent using a local directory instead of
external HD as configured
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kmail2
Version: 4.11.5
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: misc
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: kurt.kanduth at cablelink.at
I am using Kontact and want my e-mails to be backed up regularly. Using Extras
-> Automatic Archive setup (the English menu might be different, I use the
German one...) I configured as follows:
Directory: Local Directory/Sent items ---> /var/run/media/username/Intenso
(=external HD)/LINUX_BU/KMAIL/Sent
Directory: Local Directory/Inbox ---> /var/run/media/username/Intenso
(=external HD)/LINUX_BU/KMAIL/Inbox
The agent is to run daily, 5 min. after start up.
It actually does run, however, the archive ends up not on the external HD but
on /home/user name instead.
If my memory serves me right, it did archive to the external HD as configured
for the very first time, but ever after it started perfectly, but uses the home
directory instead of the external hard drive.
I provided screenshots here:

Reproducible: Didn't try
I don't know if this is the right place to address it, but a "dream come
true-scenario" would be to have the option to automatically backup ALL the data
from Kontact: E-mails sent and received, addresses, calender entries, and
notes!
In the old days, using Windows, I knew that I only had to backup the "Outlook"
folder and that was it.
