            Bug ID: 334740
           Summary: kmail doesn't handle failed archiving attempts well.
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.13.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Be the archiving interval 7 days.
When archiving fails the following happens:

1. A corrupted archive is produced.
2. The archiving status is set do done
3. The next archiving will be started in 7 days.
4. What will happen if the maximum number of kept archives is 1? Will kmail
discard the good one and keep the corrupted?

A better handling would be:

1. Delete the corrupted archive
2. Retry after sometime (e.g. 3 h)


Reproducible: Didn't try
