Summary: Opening IMAP account throws many error messages Product: kmail Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: djan...@gmail.com Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu4) 4.4.1 Packaged by ubuntu team for ubuntu 9.10 OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS/Version: (K)ubuntu karmic latest (1-oct-2009) alpha with KDE-4.3.1 When configuring an IMAP e-mail account in KMail, and opening one of the account folders, several things go wrong, which are probably related, hence I put them in one bug report: 1.- I get an error-message for every sub-folder saying: 'Cannot open file "~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.286385175.directory/.XXX.directory/YYY": No such file or directory' If I check the mentioned directory from a terminal, before I click on "OK" in the message box, I can verify the file exists and has read and write access. 2.- In my case the IMAP account contains a tree of folders and sub-folders. There are probably more than 1000 directories. So after a long while holding down the [Enter] key to click through all the OK buttons in the almost endless storm of error messages, the error message text chages to: 'Cannot open file "~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.286385175.directory/.XXX.directory/YYY": Too many open files' And sometimes in between there is a shorter error message dialog saying: 'Error while creating file XXX: Too many open files' Looking inside /proc/<pid of kmail>/fd/, there are indeed 1000 open file-descriptors. Apparently this is the pre-configured maximum on my system, but anyway, kmail should NEVER keep all those files open in the first place. I cannot use KMail like this, and in fact I never made it through all the error messages, to see what happens then. Every time I restart KMail, and repeating the procedure, the directories previously created are removed again, and the pain starts over! Could this be a race-condition between two threads? Additional information: The home directory (~) is on an NFS mounted drive, and this has been working fine for years throughout the KDE-3.x series. Before running KDE4 for the first time, I removed my .kde directory just in case. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
