Bug#291012: kmail: Another index problem: Message header values and thread sorting is mixed with totally other mails
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.1-3
Severity: important
I use kmail to read mail from an local imap server (uw-imapd), the
format is mbox. Over night there is an archiving/deleting job on the
server which deletes some mails from the mbox folder.
If i get new mail and open such an folder with kmail, the information
about sender,subject,date and content is first shown correctly and well
sorted by thread. If i select then a new (or old) mail, the
sender,subject...and content of this message is from an totally other
mail which is probably from an total other thread.
This must be an index problem. I used kmail sometimes from kde 3.2 and i
think this problem (for me) is new in kde 3.3. The version from 3.2 ex.
does a "Cleaning" after exiting kmail. The new version don't do this
AFAIK.
With this bug kmail for me is useless while the only way to fix this
problem is to recreate the local cache, so i lost some important settings
for folders.
Also deleting settings in ~/.kde for kmail (settings,cache) or using a
fresh user does'nt solve. After the first outside action on the imap
folder kmail runs in the above problem.
Greetings
Gerhard
