Hi,
I had the same problem and just found a very simple solution (you may call it a
work around).
Prerequisites - I am using postfix and procmail for mail delivery. Actually, I
have a fetchmail type client that funnels incoming mail through procmail.
HOWTO implement -
step1 * If not already done, add the line
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail
to /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix.
step2 * If ~/.procmailrc doesn't exist, create this file with the following
contents.
LOGFILE=<your_choice_of_logfile_name>
VERBOSE=yes
:0 :<your_choice_of_lock_file_name>
<your_$HOME>/.local/share/Linux-mail/
!!! And don't forget the '/' after 'Linux-mail' !!!
step3 * send a test mail to your account, procmail will create new, cur and tmp
sub directories in <your_$HOME>/.local/share/Linux-mail/ as needed.
step4 * Open kmail2, Settings->Konfigure kmail->Accounts->receiving and add
a new akonadi resource of type maildir, pointing to
<your_$HOME>/.local/share/Linux-mail
step5 * wait some time for akonadi and kmail2 to recognize this new resource.
You will find your new mail right there - and NO more "changed by another
program" alerts.
Have fun ! Christoph Pospiech
