Bug#406258: kmail loses all of inbox, mixes different account with disconnected imap
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Trying kmail today I lost all of my inbox folder on one of my
accounts. Reading all my mail offline sounded different...
kmail behaves very strange. I set up two dimap folders one month ago,
but then stopped using it because it was showing several inboxes for
one account, like Inbox, inbox and INBOX (very strange for IMAP). Now
I tried again with the latest version and my mails were lost after
loggin in. Also the folder names of the two accounts were mixed,
folders of one account appearing in the tree for the other account.
The two accounts I have are with aol.de and web.de, so maybe opening a
free test account there helps for debugging.
Meanwhile users of kmail should be kind of warned, like with a message
on startup:
kmail sometimes deletes all of your mail. to continue, please enter
'yes I am aware that kmail has horrible bugs and that by using it I
might lose all my emails':
Should be easy with a little wrapper script and xmessage.
