* KMail's handling of IMAP namespaces changed in KDE 3.5. You used to be
|
||
|
|
able to set a prefix for your mailboxes (most commonly INBOX. for
|
||
|
|
courier-imap and cyrus-imapd servers) that would tell KMail where to look
|
||
|
|
for mail folders. In KDE 3.5, KMail now handles both personal and shared
|
||
|
|
namespaces. It no longer strips the namespace from the beginning of the
|
||
|
|
folder path, though, so some users will see that all of their folders are
|
||
|
|
now subfolders of the inbox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to this change, KMail may get confused when it starts after upgrading
|
||
|
|
and crash. We don't have a solution to the bug at this time, but there is
|
||
|
|
a workaround that doesn't result in any dataloss.

The folder $HOME/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/imap/ holds cached copies of all
|
||
|
14 years ago
|
the mail headers in your imap account. Deleting everything in this folder
|
||
|
11 years ago
|
(rm -rf ~/.trinity/share/apps/kmail/imap/*) allows KMail to startup. KMail
|
||
|
14 years ago
|
will need to redownload all the mail headers, but it would need to do so
|
||
|
|
anyway since it thinks the mail folders appearing under the inbox are
|
||
|
|
different folders.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In some cases even this workaround has not been enough. If KMail still
|
||
|
|
behaves strangely for you after doing this, you may need to move KMail's
|
||
|
|
configuration file out of the way in addition to removing its IMAP cache.
|
||
|

|
To do this, "mv ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc
|
||
|
|
~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc.bak". After doing this, KMail should behave
|
||
|

|
better, but you will need to reconfigure all of your accounts.
