Bug#524797: kmail: bug with sync of DIMAP account when using filters
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.9-5
Severity: normal
Hi folks,
after an upgrade from etch to lenny KMail shows the following strange
behaviour:
I use filters to move mails from the INBOX of an DIMAP account to
subdirectories of that account. If all works correctly, my INBOX will
always be empty at the end of a sync. After the upgrade of my system I
synced the account twice with the result that there were two copies of
all new mails in the correct subdirectories; the INBOX was empty in my
local copy. Further syncs lead to further copies of these new mails in
the subdirectories, while INBOX remained empty.
Interestingly, INBOX still held these new mails on the server. Even
syncing of only the empty local INBOX with F5 did not lead to a removal
of the mails on the server (or an appearance in the local directory),
but just further copies of the mails in the subdirectories. Repairing
the index/cache did not solve the problem either.
This problem will inudate the subdirectories with a large number of
copies of the same mails, if automatic syncing is used, and will make
filtering impossible.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Christian
