Bug#969898: kmail: error in kmail help related to local folders
Package: kmail
Version: 4:20.04.1-2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
in the kmail help I found an error. Please recheck and correct this is in the help text.
The error I found, is in the part, where you describe, what to do, when loacal folders are double and can not be deleted.
I only have the German text available, so please allow me to insert the part, which I think I am wrong. I am sure, someone in the community may translate this to find it in the Englishpart. This is the original:
---- snip ----
Der schwierigste Teil ist die Einstellung für den Ordner Postausgang. Suchen Sie zuerst die Datei specialmailcollectionsrc in Ihrem KDE-Einrichtungsordner $HOME/.kde4/share/config. Die Datei enthält unter anderem folgende Einträge:
[SpecialCollections] DefaultResourceId=akonadi_maildir_resource_0
Starten Sie jetzt das Programm akonadiconsole. Suchen Sie auf der Karteikarte Agents das lokale Konto mit Ihrem Ordner Postausgang, klicken Sie darauf und notieren Sie den Namen des Identifier unten im Dialog wie zum Beispiel akonadi_maildir_resource_XXX. Tragen Sie diesen Wert in der vorher erwähnten Datei specialmailcollectionsrc als Ersatz des vorhandenen Wertes ein.
Danach starten Sie das Programm akonadi wieder neu, indem Sie in akonadiconsole Server → Restart Server wählen oder folgendes in einer Konsole auf der Befehlszeile eingeben:
---- snap -----
Ok, the error is this:
First of all, the named path is wrong. It is not $HOME/.kde4/share/config, this is not existent. If all, it would be $HOME/.kde/share/config. The *kde4* existed a long time ago, but today no more.
But secondary, this path is also itself wrong. Althought the named file exists below the path exists, it is not the correct one. You find also the file specialmailcollectionsrc below
$HOME/.config, and this is the one which is the responsible. However, I believe, it is important, to edit BOTH files, the one below $HOME/.kde/share/config and the one below $HOME/.config. At least, this procedure worked here.
It would be nice, if you could recheck this and maybe correct the text in the help files.
Thank you very much!
Hans
