Summary: kmail confused about message headers, mixing up messages
in the message list
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: chase.venters gmail com
Version: KMail 1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0)
OS: Linux
I'm using IMAP folders with my version of KMail. I've seen this bug for a while
and decided to finally report it.
It seems to happen in larger mailboxes. For example, the inbox for my main
e-mail account has 2610 messages. I've coped with the problem in the past,
somewhat, by writing Perl scripts that are fired off by cron to move messages
into an archive folder periodically.
In essence, KMail seems to get confused about message headers and mixes up
messages. One example of this behavior is when I use the Search: box to search
for a certain subject line. Messages matching that subject line are shown
correctly, but when I select one, KMail displays an entirely different message
and then changes the list entry to match that message, despite it not matching
my search criteria.
I also find that clicking various messages that aren't downloaded yet will
often cause their header to change and a different message to appear. Clicking
back around the list causes headers to switch as different messages are
displayed. It appears that when KMail displays another message, its list entry
is not updated until a window event (such as moving the focus to another
window) occurs.
I'll attach a series of screenshots showing the behavior.
This bug seems related to #62452 but I'm not sure it's the same thing. #62452
is marked RESOLVED but there was another entry added at the end of 2004 and it
doesn't seem to have been addressed since then.
