Kmail does Something Strange
 

Hello there

I've got a minor bug in Kmail 1.9.7. KDE 3.5.8 and Etch stable. Was
wondering whether someone could help me out.

http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/kde358-bpo

If I 'cd' to....

/home/user/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/cur#

and do 'ls -a' there is nothing in this folder or in tmp or new. But,
when I open Kmail there is a message entitled "Unknown" with no
subject which cannot be deleted by Kmail. Perhaps this is something
to do with a lockfile of some sort ?

Anyone know how to get rid of this ?

Regards

Most likely an out-of-sync index file.

If you display hidden file, there should be .inbox.index and related files.

Make sure KMail is not running and then delete the index files. KMail will
create new ones on startup.

Cheers,

Ignore this. I've had a mail delivery problem for a day or two.
Everything is working fine now.

Thanks ever so much
