Subject: Bug#39965: If mail folder is read-only system becomes unusable
From: marco.krohn () gmx ! de

Package: kmail
Version: 1.4 (using KDE 3.0.5 (CVS HEAD >= 20020327))
Severity: normal
Installed from: compiled sources
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.10-4GB
OS/Compiler notes:
When I installed my system again after a crash I copied the mail backup to \
the Mail folder, but forgot to do a "chmod -R u+w *" in this dir. Therefore \
the files were all unreadable when I started kmail. kmail started without \
problems but immediately started bombarding me with message boxes that "dir \
XXX is not readable".
I have quite a lot of dirs (~100) and in the beginning these windows popped \
up quite fast, but after message window 60 or so the boxes popped up slower \
and slower (~5 seconds for each). The problem was that my system became \
completely unusable and I also remarked that kmail (after complaining about \
the last dir) started again with the first directory :-(
At this point I tried to kill kmail from the console which worked only \
partially: the kmail process was gone, but message windows still popuped \
... :-( Finally I killed the Xserver.
I know that this bug does not happen too often and I there might be also a \
problem with the message windows (when the number >60). Anyway thanks a lot \
for kmail which is the best mail client I have ever used!
