Bug#530741: set all my mails marked NEW as OLD
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: critical
I'm using mutt to read my emails and kontact to use a variety of PIM
application, especially for my calendar and contacts, occasionnally
taking notes (but not email).
Today I opened kontact and it complained about many .summary files not
being up to date, and just after that, all my mails previously marked
NEW in the Maildirs in ~/Mail were suddenly marked OLD instead, which is
a huge loss of information for me (I now have to browse them all to try
and recover which mails I already have read or not).
How come kmail's component in kontact MODIFIED my data without me using
it?! And why such a nonsensical modification?!
