Hi,
First, my thanks to everyone involved with making KDE happen, both those
writting the software and those packaging it for Debian. Your efforts are
very much appreciated!
I'm having a problem with using KDE to organise my life. I am (or was) using
an IMAP-based "groupware" to store contacts, events and To-Do items. This
allowed me to sync and update from multiple locations (desktop and laptop)
and was working fine. My desktop was running sarge, but I've moved to etch.
The laptop is running sid.
The problem is this: neither of the KDE PIM applications I use (KAddressBook,
KOrganizer) show any data unless KMail explicitly highlights a particular
message within the groupware folder. If no groupware email is highlighted,
then no data is available to either application. If a single message is
highlighted, then the data in that email is available, but no other (i.e. a
single person is available to KAddressBook and that person's birthday to
KOrganizer; or, if an event, that event is available to KOrganizer). If I
attempt to highlight the whole folder, still only a single piece of
information is available (the one with the dotted box around it). Running
Kontact exhibits the same behaviour.
In order for the PIM application to aware of a highlighted email, I must
unselect ("untick") the IMAP information source, then select it again;
apparently forcing a re-reading of the available information.
I suspect that I may have some broken configuration in ~/.kde/share/... that
is causing this problem as no one else seems to be reporting this. I can
spend some time investigating this problem, but have absolutely no idea where
to start and the learning curve for KDE is somewhat daunting.
Please tell me either how to fix it or where to start looking!
Thanks!
Paul.
