            Bug ID: 363976
           Summary: kmail moans 'die ressource "XXXX" funktioniert nicht'
                    because subdirectories tmp, new and cur are missing
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.10
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: dieter.jurzitza at t-online.de

I struggled for quite a while analyzing a silly bug. Kmail2 worked but always
said
'Die Ressource "XXXX" funktioniert nicht'
on start and on entering arbitrary subfolders of XXXX (say
/var/spool/mail/oscar) because I am using maildir format.
At the end of the day it showed that this message (not very helpful, indeed)
was caused by the fact that subdirectories were missing.
So, there was a directory "trash", but the directories "trash/new", "trash/cur"
and "trash/tmp" were missing. Why aren't they auto - generated - I cannot
imagine anything harmful from them, but an error message (that actually does
not give a pointer to the problem) is misleading and serves for nothing in this
case.
So, I'd suggest to auto-generate those folders if they are missing - and kmail
ought to know what is actually causing the error message so it should be
possible to add the folders at the right position.
Thank you for looking into this
take care
