When I move messages from the Inbox to folders I have created it is often the case that the message reappears in the Inbox a few seconds later. There is at least one folder I previously created where this has stopped happening - I'm not sure how - but if I create a new folder, it seems to inherit this problem. On a number of occasions, I have moved the message that has reappeared in the Inbox into the same destination folder and the message has reappeared again. This has also left me with apparently duplicate messages in the destination folder. I say "apparently" duplicate messages because not infrequently they may be a slightly different size, and if I select 'Folders'.'Remove Duplicate Messages' I get an error, "/Unable to fetch item from backend (collection xxx) : Unable to retrieve item from resource: Invalid item retrieved/". I have also attempted to archive folders. Archiving any folder that contains one of these "duplicate" messages will fail with the error message, "/Failed to archive the folder 'xxxxxxxxx'. Downloading a message in folder 'xxxxxxxxx' failed./". Also, if I select one of these "duplicate" messages, or select a group of messages which contains one of these duplicated messages and attempt to move or copy them, then nothing happens. More informatively, if I have a Konsole window in which I have run akonadictl then when I select one of these messages in kmail then konsole displays messages such as .... * /posting retrieval request for item 79979 there are 1 queues and 0 items in mine / * /request for item 79979 still pending - waiting / * /processing retrieval request for item 79979 parts: ("RFC822") of resource: "akonadi_maildir_resource_0" / * /AkonadiAgentServer(4442) MaildirResource::maildirForCollection: Got incomplete ancestor chain: Collection ID: 242 remote ID: "" / * / name: "" / * / url: KUrl("akonadi://?collection=242") / * / parent: 6 "/home/peter/.local/share/local-mail" / * / resource: "" / * / rights: QFlags(0x1|0x2|0x4|0x8|0x10|0x20) / * / contents mime type: () / * / isVirtual: false / * / CachePolicy: / * / inherit: true / * / interval: -1 / * / timeout: -1 / * / sync on demand: false / * / local parts: () / * / CollectionStatistics: / * / count: -1 / * / unread count: -1 / * / size: -1 / * /continuing / * /request for item 79979 "" failed: "Unable to retrieve item from resource: Invalid item retrieved" / * /ItemRetrieverException : Unable to retrieve item from resource: Invalid item retrieved/ I don't know if it is related, but if I use pim setting exporter to perform a backup not all the folders are exported. My objective is to move my kmail and other PIM data to a new computer with a fresh install of Linux Mint 17.3KDE. I would like some means of cleaning my kmail folders without having to search for the rogue duplicate messages one by one. so that I can archive and move my kmail messages. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks and regards. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've spent many an hour wrestling with KMail-2 and duplicate or corrupt messages. I too have only POP3 accounts, no IMAP. Have you tried the folder archive tool in KMail? If you select Local Folders, then Archive Folder, it will tar up all the messages in all your local folders. You can export your filters too from the Configure Filters dialogue. I suggest you do that, then: Make sure KMail and akonadi aren't running, by commanding "akonadictl stop". Wait until ps doesn't show akonadi or MySQL running, then rm -r ~/.local/share/baloo. Restart akonadi and go and make a brew while it re- indexes all your messages. Disclaimer: I don't use any of the other PIM components, only KMail, so I can't offer any guarantees. Maybe you just need to remove ~/.local/share/baloo/email; I haven't tried doing that. You may have to repeat both steps once or twice, but after that you should have a reasonably clean message set, which you will be able to import into your new setup. One hint: when running operations on folders, don't be tempted to start one until the previous one has finished - it can only do one thing at a time, poor thing. I found the hard way that impatience here causes all sorts of problems; since learning that lesson I've had no more corruption of e-mails. -- Regards Peter From kdepim-users at equaeghe.nospammail.net Mon Dec 5 11:14:17 2016 From: kdepim-users at equaeghe.nospammail.net (Erik Quaeghebeur) Date: Mon, 05 Dec 2016 12:14:17 +0100 Subject: KOrganizer 4.14.11 sync range setting Message-ID: <5197871.bctZJQ9nnM@sysoppad> Dear group, I can't seem to find the setting for the time range of calendar items to sync (with KOrganizer 4.14.11).

I have a MacBookPro 12,1 13" (Early 2015) with retina display (HiDPI), and the rendered HTML messages appear way too small to be read. I've looked everywhere in KMail settings but didn't find a solution. While it easy to change the font size of the message body (Settings -> Configure KMail - > Appearance -> Fonts -> Message Body), this affects only plain text messages. After manually setting my display's size in xorg, almost everything else in KDE looks good. This issue with KMail is the only last serious pitfall that limits usability, and I'd be glad if someone could suggest me a solution. This is the tweak I did in xorg config to get the correct resolution (227x227 dpi): $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "" DisplaySize 286 179 # In millimeters EndSection Lastly, but this is a minor drawback, is it possible to enlarge the font used for the subject line? By default it is smaller than the font used for the From, To, and Date fields, and it appears weird.

The latter issue can certainly be dealt with by creating a custom header theme using the Grantlee functionality and perhaps also the former, given that with the Grantlee theme can have an impact beyond the header. To learn about Grantlee themeing, I suggest googling for "grantlee kmail" and similar queries. There is a GUI, but I only got some success in creating my own theme (nothing related to HiDPI) by creating it manually. Documentation is scarce… and there are some issues, for example https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364176 and that external CSS (so not in the HTML file itself) do not seem to work. For me, the themes are in $HOME/.kde4/share/apps/messageviewer/themes/ each in their own directory. I've put a theme I've made in attachment. You can see that with the CSS you can have control over both the header (which you can wholly design using the theme HTML-like language) and the body (whose HTML you cannot control).

What should I do? Hi, just add a new "Maildir resource" and select a folder on your filesystem where the emails will be stored. Then add a new POP3 Resource and configure it to fetch emails into the newly added maildir resource. You can then add more folders to the maildir resource and configure you local mail filters in KMail to filter the POP3 incoming emails to the subfolders.

Hi Bas, and thanks for your feedback. I've repeated the steps you suggest once again, and unfortunately no new folder for the newly created POP3 account does appear. I forgot to mention that I'm using KMail 5.2.3. Maybe you are referring to a different version.

I don't know exactly where I am supposed to add a "Maildir resource". In my KMail v. 5.2.3 I tried and added a new "receiving account" and chose "Maildir". It then proposed $HOME/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_1 as new location for my new maildir (akonadi_maildir_resource_0 corresponds to Local Folders), created that folder (empty), and the associated new account named akonadi_maildir_resource_1 (the account name can't be renamed from here). Then I added a new "receiving account", and chose "POP3 E-Mail Server". It proposes again Local Folders/inbox as destination folder, and when I try and change that folder, it only allows me to choose between Local Folders and subdirs, and the folders and subfolders associated with the previous IMAP accounts. The newly created maildir folder does not appear in the directory tree. I don't know, this task begins to seem a bit contort, while I just need to create a basic pop account :-) From solitone at mail.com Wed Dec 14 17:53:02 2016 From: solitone at mail.com (solitone) Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2016 18:53:02 +0100 Subject: KMail: adding POP3 account In-Reply-To: <1818973.plzxfHyJM4@alan> References: <2396391.6MOztIJXb5@alan> <6738052.4adhHtaLMV@mjollnir> <1818973.plzxfHyJM4@alan> Message-ID: <1617365.TBuqbfgyqA@alan> On Wednesday, December 14, 2016 6:22:09 PM CET solitone wrote: > I tried and added a new "receiving account" and chose > "Maildir".

The newly created maildir folder does not appear in the directory > tree. I solved with akonadi console. From there I first managed to rename the maildir to a proper name (rather than akonadi_bla_bla_bla). Then I created a new subdir called "inbox". Once I had the my_new_maildir/inbox subfolder, I went back to KMail, and this time I could choose my_new_maildir/inbox as the destination folder. I tested and it fetches emails from pop3 server, and puts them in the specified destination folder. True it works, but it was quite an endeavor for such a simple thing! There are still some things that don't work, but will update you on these later on.

Normally, KOrganizers picks up the KDE local timezone as the default and it gives me all time zones to choose from in the event creation dialog by clicking on "Timezones >>", which is found next to the starting time. Is there anything peculiar about your setup? (Such as not using KDE, but another desktop.) What is in '/usr/share/zoneinfo' (assuming this is a Linux box)?

I don't have answers here; I just know that (re)moving the baloo directory forces a rebuild of the database and sorts out the mess of duplicated messages. It can't magically repair damaged ones though. > You will appreciate that I am a little apprehensive about deleting any > database file without being sure that it will (1) solve the problem and > (2) can be recreated error-free. So just move it somewhere while you test. And remember what I said about other KPim components.

They seem to be moved around with every second release or so for some reason I don't get. I just cross my fingers the backup works... but you can start in /home/yourname/.local/share/local-mail There will be hidden folders in there, with some luck, that might contain your email From andreas at mahel.net Tue Dec 20 19:02:17 2016 From: andreas at mahel.net (Andreas Mahel) Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 20:02:17 +0100 Subject: kmail: all mail folder are missing In-Reply-To: <58555942.9070002@gmx.de> References: <58555942.9070002@gmx.de> Message-ID: <1797456.u3ZbGHgrVu@mars> Am Samstag, 17.

Do you have kmail running (again) and the local folders don't show anything? Or have you been hunting the mails on your hard disk, but haven't found them (except for the pre-kmail2 ones which reside in ~/Mail)? As you mention ~/.local/share/local-mail: yes, that's the standard folder for kmail2 local mails. At least almost, as this maildir folder will most likely never see an actual mail, because all mails would be in (logical) sub folders. And the sub folders of a maildir folder named foo will physically not be located within foo, but rather within a hidden directory .foo.directory So if you are looking for those mails on disk, you might need to have a look at ~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory (and potentially the hidden sub folder structure therein).

Yep, I can confirm. Looks like a regression in some recent version. Please open a bug on bugs.kde.org so it does not get lost and we'll try to fix it in the next release. Thanks, Daniel > > Thanks.

I can't open any message in KMail. I've used akonadiconsole to get an idea what happens. The folders are all shown, and the data about the folder contents within the Akonadi DB is correct. However any fetch of an item fails - not only in KMail but also in akonadiconsole. The messages are in a mixedmaildir resource. Other resources (contacts, calendars) work fine. What can I do to further track down the issue? Or should I simply wait for updated packages? (That would be a pity as I can access my messages only via a command line editor now.) FTR I've already installed the very latest packages as a message on the OpenSUSE mailing list indicated a build problem which is considered to be fixed now. But I still can't read my messages...
