Good evening,
Under KMail, I keep my mail organised with folders and sub-
folders.
Schematically, and for the ease of explenation of the problem,
I had something like :
Mail
-> Sub A with: Mess-1, Mess-2
-> Sub-B with: Mess-3, Mess-113
-> Sub-C with : Mess-4
-> Sub D with: Mess-87
I'm working like this since a march, and have a few
hundreds of messages.
Now, this evening I had to read a message wiht pine (I was
following some update-recommendations, as 'root', but
wanted to check a mail I received as 'user' ... I suppose
you get the picture)
After re-entering my mail system (connect as user / under
kde), my mail was completly messed-up - something
like :
Mail
-> Sub A with: Mess-3, Mess-3, Mess-3, ..
repeated eg. 4 time (but with
different dates)
Mess-2 repeated eg. 5 times
Mess-1 repeated eg. 3 times
-> Sub-B empty
-> Sub-C empty
-> Sub D with eg. Mess-117
Mess-87
Note, I can only schematicaly represent the situation.
I noticed also
- several old-message (I suppose coming from the trash-
folder had risen from the death (and multiplied themselves)
- No original mail seems to have been lost
- On a total of about 150 mails, some 25 mails had been
replaced and repeated (3 to 5 times)
(Due largely to one sub-subfolder, containing about 120
mails, but which was left untouched for 95%)
- When I was under pine (which I SUPPOSE to have
created this mess), I just read some messages in 1 subfolder
(schematicaly Sub-A - contains 95 % of all my mail).
I've done no updates (or, no updates which I am aware
of)
I'm running kmail under Suse 7.1 (the version that came with the
distribution).
Note : I hope you understand I didn't realy try or expiriment any
further, nor did I try to reproduce the error - It took me
quite some time to clean up this whole mess.
Furthermore, it was only after some time I realised the
different copies of the same message got different
timestamps .. meaning : if I deleted the first occurence,
the other one changed place to the bottom of the list -
so to keep my messages in order, I had to delete always
the multiple occurrence bottom-up .. meaning : messages
are no longer always sorted in the right logical order
(by thead / by date) ..
I'm SUPPOSING the little pine-visit is responsible for this,
because it is the only thing 'out-of-the-normal' I have
done.
Kind regards
Johan D'Hondt
