Hi!

I stumpled over what I think is a possible data loss again with my most
recent, I think pretty simple setup with KMail and filter configuration
from scratch:

Bug 319226 - produces 1-byte-sized files on failed move attempts while filtering
http://bugs.kde.org/319226

I saw it produce three more of these 1-byte-sized files


Please check your maildir stores for 1-byte sized files, such as:

martin@merkaba:~/.local/share/local-mail> find -size 1c
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Amiga.directory/[…]new/1367505273.R463.merkaba
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Linux.directory/kernel-ml/new/1367505281.R162.merkaba
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Linux.directory/kernel-ml/new/1367505281.R263.merkaba
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Debian.directory/hurd-ml/new/1367483178.R504.merkaba
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Debian.directory/hurd-ml/new/1367483178.R335.merkaba
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Debian.directory/hurd-ml/cur/1367483178.R30.merkaba:2,S
./.Lichtvoll.directory/.Debian.directory/hurd-ml/cur/1367483178.R989.merkaba:2,S


In case you find some, please verify that all they contain is a linefeed each:

martin@merkaba:~/.local/share/local-mail> find -size 1c | xargs hd
00000000  0a 0a 0a 0a 0a 0a 0a                              |.......|
00000007


It is still possible that it isn ´t a data loss and Akonadi just produced
a garbage file and retries the move later on. But, heck, I think I can
check by looking at debian-hurd mailing list archive:

Yes. Mailing list archive contains mails I do not see locally.

I will add this to the bug report as well.


In case you also find this, please add informations about your setup to
the bug report.

I still hope its just happening for me and its somehow related to filter
rules, but please sanity check your maildir stores.

Thanks,
