Package: kmail Version: 4:3.5.9-5 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Identical to bug 158978 in Launchpad, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdepim/+bug/158978 for additional information and reports from other users. The bug was also reported to affect Kmail 1.12.1 in KDE4.3.1!! I'm using dIMAP for a Gmail account. On first connect in the morning I got a cryptic message complaining about non-readable contents on the IMAP server. All folders but my inbox were synchronized and the inbox was displayed as empty. Irritated by this I pressed the button a second time and the inbox was readable this time, but kmail instantly deleted all mails on the server (as it notified in the status bar) and then just downloaded the new stuff that had come in since I had left work the previous evening. It basically deleted several hundred messages in a few seconds. None of the subfolders were affected, though this has happened previously on my private account using another machine (only a subset of the inbox contents was deleted then, same Kmail version and setup). It seems like the server error caused Kmail to update the local cache (deleting messages that were there previously) - which it should not do if there's been only a transmission error and no real modification on the server side. Then upon the next synchronisation it updates the server by actually deleting all remote messages as well. Update 12/2009: This has happened twice in the meantime. Luckily I can access a second mirror of the IMAP so the deleted messages could be recovered, but others might not be that lucky. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdebase-kio-plug 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6 core I/O slaves for KDE ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny3 core libraries and binaries for al ii kdepim-kio-plugi 4:3.5.9-5 KDE pim I/O Slaves ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.9.1-5 Network Audio System - shared libr ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2+lenny1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 1.8+20080606-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkcal2b 4:3.5.9-5 KDE calendaring library ii libkdepim1a 4:3.5.9-5 KDE PIM library ii libkleopatra1 4:3.5.9-5 KDE GnuPG interface libraries ii libkmime2 4:3.5.9-5 KDE MIME interface library ii libkpimidentitie 4:3.5.9-5 KDE PIM user identity information ii libksieve0 4:3.5.9-5 KDE mail/news message filtering li ii libmimelib1c2a 4:3.5.9-5 KDE mime library ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2+lenny2 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8b-5+b1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 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 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.4-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.3-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii perl 5.10.0-19lenny2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages kmail recommends: ii kmailcvt 4:3.5.9-5 KDE KMail mail folder converter ii procmail 3.22-16 Versatile e-mail processor Versions of packages kmail suggests: ii bogofilter 1.1.7-1 a fast Bayesian spam filter (dummy ii clamav 0.95.3+dfsg-1~volatile1 anti-virus utility for Unix - comm ii gnupg 1.4.9-3+lenny1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii gnupg-agent 2.0.9-3.1 GNU privacy guard - password agent ii kaddressbook 4:3.5.9-5 KDE NG addressbook application ii kleopatra 4:3.5.9-5 KDE Certificate Manager ii pinentry-qt [pin 0.7.5-2.1 Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry ii spamassassin 3.2.5-2+lenny1 Perl-based spam filter using text -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
