Package: kontact
Version: 4:4.14.10-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After starting kontact/kMail none of my existing e-mails were visable
My mail dir is directly under my home dir as I've had problems in the pas
with kde/kmail
destroying mu archived mails so everything is now under /home/<myname>/Mail
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
I moved the Mail directory sideways (Mail-old) and removed all the
kmail/contact config from
~/.kde ~/.local etc and restarted kontact clean and created a basic config
Then created a new sub-folder to import the old kMail content & started
the import
* What was the outcome of this action?
My old archived email to be imported
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I keep seeing the following dialog
Error: Could not add message to folder new. Reason: Unknown collection for
'279'.
There are THOUSANDS of these messages & no way to say YES to all or figure
out what is wrong/broken
I'm concerned that e-mails from my old Mail folder will not be imported
Is there a way for me to export my saved data to another format
(Evolution, IceDove, Other???)
ias I'm really starting to worry that kMail/kontact is no longer a safe
place for me to store my e-mails
Destroying/loosing user data is IMHO a really bad thing :(
