Before, I beginning, I need dox, not solutions :-) |

I'm having the devil's own time with kdepim after upgrading to 4.6.0. |
4 |
|
5 |
Apart from the calendar (more on this later), everything seemed fine. |
6 |
Several kontact restarts and several reboots later it was still fine. |
7 |
Then suddenly kmail decided to throw away all my filters after #11 - |
8 |
they simply get removed from kmail2rc silently and the file is |
9 |
rewritten when kmail closes. I recreated the filters, and today it |
10 |
chucked everything away. Twice. Seriously, I'm now getting hugely |
11 |
pissed off. I can add the filters back in from a backup copy, but they |
12 |
still get discarded. |
13 |
|
14 |
Today, kmail hung while accessing my Exchange account over IMAP. The |
15 |
folder list showed 100+ unread mails, but none of them were in the |
16 |
view pane. Deleting that account and recreating it brought everything |
17 |
back. |
18 |
|
19 |
The calendar in korganizer just does not work. Period. It is empty. |
20 |
But all the todos in it are listed in the Kontact summary view! An |
21 |
invite is displayed as raw ical data, missing the usual Accept|Reject| |
22 |
etc links. And the calendar is apparently read-only: right-click on a |
23 |
time-slot gives a greyed-out context menu so I can't select "Add |
24 |
event" |
25 |
|
26 |
My pim config has come a long ways, from somewhere early in the 3- |
27 |
series and just got updated every time. I tried a kdepim-4.6 beta a |
28 |
while ago but that was not a happy experience so went back to 4.4, and |
29 |
am now back at 4.6. I strongly suspect a very unhappy outdated config, |
30 |
but the apps themselves are not helping to nail it down. |
31 |
|
32 |
There's nothing in .xsession-errors that gives a clue, nothing on the |
33 |
console with the appropriate kdebug options set, and lots of google |
34 |
searches have not revealed any kind of config validation script. |
35 |
|
36 |
If any of you fine folks can point me at a link containing useful |
37 |
debugging techniques for kdepim, this here crotchy old sysadmin will |
38 |
be eternally grateful. I might even DHL some cookies as a token of |
39 |
gratitude :-) |
