Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: important
ubject: kmail: Invalid filename char ':' in Mail folder, recent update
breaks SID
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Severity: important
Part 1: KMail tries to use the ':' char in a file name when trying to
save Mail in a local file (e.g. the Mail folder).
Nothing prevents that Folder to live on a network file system (I
use the [general] section of kmailrc to specify the Mail
location as:
folders=~/AlphaServer/Profiles/Mail
If that Mail folder has no index files and I try to save (or
copy) a mail in for example Drafts, then kmail terminates with
it's infamous "encountered a fatal error" message. Here is an
strace fragment:

----
As can be seen, kmail tries to create a file named:
"1131031622.5250.T6P7o:2,S"
This is an illegal name for cifs (just to give an example). You
can try this by passing the file name string to touch, and than
try this a second time replacing the ':' with another char.
Part 2: Older kde 3.3 kmail versions worked, kde 3.4 never worked
On a SID system the bug showed up after upgrading kmail to
stable/4:3.3.2-3 .
The versions in kde 3.4 never worked for me, may be because of
this problem.
Did somebody "backport" a kde 3.4 bug to SID ?
Thanks, Jürgen

if you are using cifs/smbfs/... just use plain old mailbox, and not
maildir that are not compatible with such loosy filesystems. end of
story.
