Hello list, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
When kmail was upgraded to 4.9.3 last month it made a complete hash of my e- |
| 4 |
mail system. In the end I moved my user out of the way and created a new user. |
| 5 |
Importing the e-mails from a backup of the old version omitted large numbers |
| 6 |
of e-mails, including a lot of complete folders. I also noticed that kmail had |
| 7 |
not created a trash folder. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So I did it again: created another new user. This time I got more messages |
| 10 |
imported but still not the whole lot (about 25,000). Still no trash. So I |
| 11 |
imported specific folders to complete the import. I tried creating a Wastebin |
| 12 |
folder manually (that's what the trash can is called in the UK) but of course |
| 13 |
that had no effect. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Now I find that several filters work sometimes but not others, thus dropping |
| 16 |
e.g. this list partly into its own folder and partly into the general inbox. |
| 17 |
If I move the offending messages myself, next time I look they've been moved |
| 18 |
back again. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If I delete a message, there being no trash folder, it's re-presented as a new |
| 21 |
message together with the original, and if I delete those I get four. Now in |
| 22 |
one folder I have 120 "new" messages. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Is there a sane way out of this? I don't know if I can face creating yet |
| 25 |
another new user with all the drudgery that entails. |
