Bug ID: 355278 Summary: gmail messages can remain as "ghosts" after deletion Product: kmail2 Version: 4.14.7 Platform: Compiled Sources OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: message list Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com As reported (elsewhere?) already, there are cases where deleted messages from a GMail account are not actually deleted at all, and remain as "ghosts", greyed-out entries in kmail's message list that cannot be selected. I just discovered that this also happens with entries in the Drafts folder, after sending them. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure a gmail account with the corresponding draft and wastebin ("Bin") folders 2a. write and send a message 3a. delete any message from the active folder *before* having received the notification that the message from (2) was sent successfully OR 2b. compose a message, save it to the Drafts folder 3b. double-click to open it, and then send it. 4. select another folder, and then re-select the previous folder (this may need to be done a few times) Actual Results: The message deleted under 3a. or sent under 3b. will reappear in the list, but ghosted. It can no longer be selected. Expected Results: The message is supposed to have been deleted, so it should not reappear. - this also applies to selections of multiple messages, in the 4.13 and 4.14 series on both Linux and OS X - checking via GMail's web interface or a different client, the ghost messages are indeed not deleted at all - The effect of 3a. can be undone (*before* selecting another folder) by hitting undo (^Z), waiting for the message to reappear as "not deleted", and then deleting it again. After any message sending has completed of course. - The effect can also be undone in akonadiconsole: 1. go to the folder in the browser tab 2. select the message: its attributes will show "/DELETED" 3. right-click the message, and *move* it to the account's Bin folder Cleanup is a major feature IMHO, hence the Major severity I assigned to this ticket. -- 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
