[PARTLY SOLVED] RE: kmail + akonadi + trouble

From Hans@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 8 10:50:02 2024

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Found an ugly solution:

1. Deleted the mailfolder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/

2. Started kmail and let create the "Local Folders", which now point to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/
mail.directory/
and created another folder
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/

3. Then rsync all mails from computer A into folder ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail.directory/
of computer B.

4. Restarted kmail and suddenlky all mails appeared again!

--------------------
This is working now, but left some questions:

1. Why can the new folder not be named
~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ and is called */mail.directory

2. Why does kmail on two computers not behave identically, although all configuration files were
identically on computer A and B and the complete akonadi database was deleted on computer
B?

3. Why did "Local Folders" NOT read my mails, although I pointed them to the folder, where my
mails resided?

4. And last but not least: Why did it read from the new created folder "*/mail.directory/",
although this was identically to the former folder?

--------------------
Maybe someone can answer this question, however, if not, it will be ok for me. Since akonadi
was introduced in kmail, IMO it is a pita. If it works, you are lucky, but if anything is going wrong,
you are getting in big trouble.
But maybe I am just to stupid for it....

Anyway, problem (ugly) solved.

Best
