Package: kdepim-kio-plugins Version: 4:3.5.9-2 Severity: normal
I use kmail with spamassassin to get and read my e-mail. I receive tons of spam since my address is public (you can find it at a lot of places, not the least Debian BTS) but I receive legitimate messages at the same address. It is an IMAP account. Kmail regularly checks for new e-mail. It is normal to download complete messages to check them through spamassassin. But the problem is that kmail, through kio-imap, download every message every time. So all messages are completely downloaded, checked and then reuploaded all times, thus wasting a lot of bandwidth and (even worst) time. Sometimes, so much time than the next regular check starts just after finishing uploading messages from the previous. Is not possible to make kio-imap to cache which messages have been spamassassin checked? Problem is reproducible: 1 take an IMAP account on some server 2 configure kmail to check that account regularly, with a relatively short period 3 configure kmail to check all incoming messages through spamassasin (standard local spamassassin) 4 publish your e-mail address This problem causes another, harder one. Sometimes, if you have a small failure in your internet connexion, or just a burst of load, kmail starts a new check without finishing the previous one, and shows you the same message several times on screen. It has happened a lot of times, and I've checked into the server real directories and there are no such messages there. So there is some sort of caching, but it does not work well. If you click one of the repeated messages, kmail downloads it and shows it to you. If you click the other, kmail shows you an empty message. Refreshing does not help. Trying to move the "empty" message to another folder of the same IMAP account causes kmail to crash. If you restart kmail almost immediately, since kio-imap4 is still alive, the problem persists and you still see duplicated messages (I've seen once octuplicated messages, and several times triplicated and quadruplicated ones). To put in one sentence: kmail+spamassassin on IMAP sucks (not intended to be offensive, just my feeling). And I need kmail and spamassasin because my local folders are maildir and i receive tons (not uncommon 200/day) spam messages. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kdepim-kio-plugins depends on: ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-4 core libraries and binaries for al ii kdepim-kresources 4:3.5.9-2 KDE pim resource plugins ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.9.1-2 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 1.8-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkcal2b 4:3.5.9-2 KDE calendaring library ii libkdepim1a 4:3.5.9-2 KDE PIM library ii libkmime2 4:3.5.9-2 KDE MIME interface library ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8b-5 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-20 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime kdepim-kio-plugins recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
