Bug ID: 343873
Summary: Unable to retrieve most emails in a folder loaded from
an archive
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: message list
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Reporter: ame...@amenex.com
Platform is Trisquel 7, an Unbuntu derivative. Motherboard is an Intel D865GLC
with 3GB of memory, recently upgraded to 4GB (moved to another identical
motherboard).
Emails were retrieved from a network attached storage drive, to which the
profile had been uploaded from a WinXP, SP3 installation running Thunderbird
email client.
Emails that are mostly irretrievable are from a folder containing ca. 13,500
emails. These are all OK in the original installation. Total about 800MB.
There were many duplicate emails which KMail atttempted to remove.
I can repeat the transfer process if need be and if some trials are
anticipated.
KMail 4.13.3 is the version; installed from the Trisquel repository with
apt-get.
Here is the complete error message, which I get every time I try to open an
email in the folder list and the loading fails:
"Unable to fetch item from backend (collection 0): Unable to retrieve item from
resource: Invalid item retrieved"
This is what I get for about 95% of the emails that I have retrieved from
various sources. No other error messages are apparent, even with dmesg in
Terminal.
One much larger folder (several GB) will not open at all.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load various email profiles to NAS - all in one folder;
2.Retrieve with KMail; KMail grabs every profile in one "go;"
3.KMail organizes everything automatically in Trisquel 7 installation;
4.Attempts to read any email in most folder gives error message;
5.Most messages are irretrievable; some folders are OK.
Actual Results:
Shall I erase all 10GB in the KMail installation and start over ? This is a
days-long process.
I'm reluctant to stick my finger in the piranha tank again anytime soon.
