Bug ID: 344163 Summary: "Unable to fetch item from backend (collection 8260) : Unable to retrieve item from resource" Product: kmail2 Version: 4.14.4 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: piedro.kul...@googlemail.com After importing a whole maildir from a NAS archive (created via rsync from another computer) I can open and work with many mails but when I try to open some mails, try to move or delete the folder of that mail or otherwise manipulate it I get the following: 'Unable to fetch item from backend (collection 8260) : Unable to retrieve item from resource' Trying to do anything with the folder containing the affected mail results in 'local folder: error reading folder, maildir "" is invalid' The other mails in the folder open fine an can be moved or deleted. This would be a minor problem if I could see all the affected mails, but it's guesswork which mails are the ones that create "invalid entries"... but as is it is a major problem because there are folders with over 2000 mails that give me this error ... I have no idea how to clean up, resolve or workaround this issue. The best hints I find are: "reindex the folder by clicking "reindex this folder" in the folder tab "maintainance"..." Well, there is no more option to that since there is no more nepomuk. So: - first of all this should not happen - second if there is an "invalid entry" with some mails this must not make the whole folder unusable - third the error message should be clear and give some clue about which mails and what to do - and finally: if something about an imported mail is "invalid" in a way that kmail can't handle it this mail should not be imported at all Even in the KDE forums nobody how to clean this up after importing a few thousand mails. (these mails are all kmail mails from an rsynced local-mail directory on a NAS!) BTW: I tried reimporting folder by folder but that had the same result. Reproducible: Always -- 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
