Hello List,
it's working again!
But I have discovered a bug (or should I say a feature) in kontact - not
proko2!!
I'm posting to this ML because I think, developers of kontact or proko2 are
reading this ML, too!
If it's no bug, then the recovering- and syncing-procedure is documented for
public use.
I want to state one thing out:
I have two notebooks. On the first one, I use - since yesterday - proko2 and I
fear it deleted all my messages on the server! I will examine that this
weekend. On the second machine, I'm using kontact of kde 3.3.0! Okay?
With the second machine I did the recovering.
Because I'm using a "german" kontact, I will post the menuentries in german,
too.......I'm to lazy after that recovering trip!
I restored my message base and did a
/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -rf user/username@domain.com
Every time I started kontact it deleted my messages again. Every attempt to
"recreate the index" or "rebuild the diamp cache" ended with an empty
mailfolder on the server.
So I did it the hard way:
I deleted my dimap cache file in .kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap and restarted
kontact. It crashed.....but I'm brave and started it again. This time it
runs!
Now I wanted to recreate and sync my dimap cache. I right-clicked on Inbox and
used the menu entry "Problembeseitigung im IMAP Zwischenspeicher" and there
"Zwischenspeicher neu aufbauen".
It synced _this_ folder; means all messages in this folder are in sync, but
again kontact deleted all messages in subfolders on the server. :-(
Like I've mentioned before: I'm brave!! :-)
So I copied again the subfolders from my backup into my mailbox directory and
did a
/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -rf user/username@domain.com
one more time.
I repeated the sync procedure for the next subfolder within kontact. It synced
this folder and again: It deleted the messages in all other subfolders. The
messages synced in the toplevel folder stayed, too.
From this time on, I've copied the subfolders one by one from the backup into
my mailbox directory and reconstructed them with cyrreconstruct and synced
them within kontact! At least it worked, but.........is this the normal
procedure for syncing the cache?? I don't think so!
Why isn't it possible to sync the whole mailfolder in one go??
Bye, bye ......and have a nice weekend! :-)
Stefan
