Summary: Mail folder in wrong place, cannot be replaced
Product: kmail
Version: 1.13.5
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.3)
OS: Linux
According to the kmail help file, mail is kept in ~/Mail. That is incorrect;
it is kept in .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail. At least in my Kubuntu system
(10.04), ~/Mail does not exist at all.
Another related problem is that you can't just copy a Mail file from some other
installation and plug it into the mail location cited above. If you try to do
that, you get a message:
KMail could not create folder '/home/pwa/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail';
please make sure that you can view and modify the content of the folder
'/home/pwa'.
That message appears to be bogus.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Place a file in .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail and try to start kmail.
Actual Results:
Message cited above.
Expected Results:
Replacement file treated as the existing message set.
OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-23-generic
Compiler: cc
