            Bug ID: 508078
           Summary: Akonadi was corrupted and kmail makes no attempt to
                    correct it
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
      Version First 6.4.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major

  Target Milestone: ---

I was a little in doubt about where to post this, because it's basically an
interaction.

What happened was that since last Wednesday my inbox folder stopped syncing.
Only my inbox folder, everything else synced fine and I could send mail.

What fixed it was running akonadictl fsck

This revealed missing external files and unreferenced external files. After
this, KMail synced again.

So one might argue this isn't a bug in KMail, but I actually think it is for
the following user: No end user should ever have to run akonadictl fsck in a
terminal. KMail should react to something going wrong in akonadi that could be
related to missing external files and run akonadictl fsck for you. I consider
it a bug because it effectively broke my ability to receive e-mail.

Here's what I got on clean-up:
