Bug in Kmail ?

2007-11-02 Thread Hans-J. Ullrich
Dear all,

I discovered the following behaviour:

When deleting a mail in kmail , the mail is pushed into trash. O.k., so far, 
this is o.k., but, when deleting the trash, all mails seem to be deleted.

But wgen you look into the file ~/Mail/trash, then the mails are still in 
trash. The file ~/Mail/trash should have now the size of zero, but it is not.

So, during the time, the file trash will grow and grow (and additionially 
this is a security problem, as mails , which should be deleted, are still 
there) .

If someone could confirm this behaviour, I will do a bugreport, too.

Greetings

Hans

I can reproduce this), but my guess is that this is a feature, compacting
the trash will actually delete the files from disk (just like imap
delete versus imap expunge behavior).

So if you are using imap, kmail has a setting for the imap account to
Automatically compact folders (expunges deleted messages). Maybe there
is bug with this setting (I'm at a plain i386 unstable that hasn't been
updated for quite a while)?
