Bug#321102: kmail without dimap

I'm using dimap with workgroup functions for 2 years now. Without problems. (It's easy if you know what NOT to do) Yes, I agree. But that's also the problem. If you know what not to do, then it might be possible to work with DIMAP without ever losing mails. But looking at bugs.kde.org and searching for KMail bugs about mail loss related to DIMAP reveals another truth: the users are not aware of those bugs. We could deliver KMail with DIMAP enabled, but then we'd have to make sure that every user who's trying to create an DIMAP account is aware of the risks. And by aware I mean that KMail must proactively provide this information when trying to create such an account -- not just a file hidden somewhere under /usr/share/doc. And every existing DIMAP user should be at least once reminded that DIMAP is potentially unsafe for production use. But even if we could provide appropriate warnings, we'd still deliver buggy and potentially harmful software in Debian stable... I'd prefer to disable DIMAP completely -- better to cut down a single feature than to expose our users to the risk of data loss. But that's just my opinion and I'm not a KDE-maintainer.

The popup will *only* kick-in when you have a DIMAP-(mail)-account. Using regular IMAP with workgroup-functions enabled, does not produce the popup. There is BTW a bug in KMail when it tries to create those workgroup-folders on the server (a nasty warning about folders not found on the server) -- this is not related to my patch! I noticed this bug before (my patch) when I tried to reproduce the mailloss. It happens with DIMAP and IMAP.

The popup will *only* kick-in when you have a DIMAP-(mail)-account. Using regular IMAP with workgroup-functions enabled, does not produce the popup. I'm using dimap with workgroup functions for 2 years now. Without problems. (It's easy if you know what NOT to do) Otherwise workgroup functions are not useable without connection. So please educate and don't annoy existing users. This is a problem which existed in all dimap implementations till now and is not a reason to kick existing users in the a I understand your concerns but a warning everytime you start kmail is not the right answer to this. So please make it possible to disable the warning. Thx. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
