Bug ID: 303913
Severity: normal
Version: 4.8.4
Priority: NOR
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: maildir 'new' directories aren't empty
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: kmail2
According to Wikipedia :
“When the mail user agent process finds messages in the new directory it moves
them to cur (using rename() - link then unlink strategy may result in having
the message duplicated) and appends an informational suffix to the filename
before reading them.”
So I understand that I shouldn't see any file in the new directories. However I
have a few ones:
$ find ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ -type f | grep -c '/new/'
3902
They are not duplicated messages. Meaning that these messages, as far as I can
see, are not in the cur/ directory. One of them, for instance, is
new/1342795373.R533.basilic:2,S and we can see that the informational suffix
has been appended. I can also see this message in kmail and it cannot be
distinguished from other messages (in the same folder in kmail) that are stored
in the cur/ directory.
I'm definitely not a maildir expert but that seems to be a non-standard
behaviour. I'm also wondering if this can explain the following bug I filed
several months ago : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289657
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
Most messages are put in cur/ directories. I don't know what prevent some of
them to go there!
