kmail: Filtering on imap accounts is broken
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:08 EST
Description of problem: Automatically filtering on imap accounts mostly only works for the first mail. All mails after the first one would not be filtered. Manual filtering only works for 1-3 mails at once. All mails after them are crossed-out but not filtered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdepim-3.5.7-0.1.fc7 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have multiple mails on an imap account 2. Try to apply filters manually to more than 3 mails or 1. Have multiple mails on an imap account 2. Receive more than 1 mail on this account which would be filtered Actual results: Only the first mail would be filtered. Expected results: The filters would be applied to all mails Additional info: This seems to be a known upstream bug newly introduced in kdepim-3.5.7: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126182 A reverted patch would maybe fix this: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126182#c23 After a downgrade to kdepim-3.5.6 filtering works fine.
Unfortunately, reverting the patch might not be enough: ------- Additional Comment #24 From Alexey Morozov 2007-06-04 14:41 ------- Just noticed: KMail with reverted r650963 applies filters to the new messages, except those which just arrived: that is if KMail receives a new message or messages they won't be processed during this transaction, only in the next check cycle. Does anybody actually understand how KMail filters are processed? ------- Additional Comment #25 From Alexey Morozov 2007-06-05 07:24 ------- I have to conclude: filter processing is seriously broken in KMail :-(. Now I have a simple filter (actually it's a default anti-spam filter which checks for X-Spam-Flag == YES and moves the message to trash). The header check simply doesn't work, although similar checks perfectly work in other filters :-( Could anybody explain how they are expected to work, step by step?
Do we have any solution to this yet? We should really fix this regression sooner rather than later.
It's pretty much out of our hands (waiting on upstream), unless somebody 'round here turns into a kdepim dev/hacker.
Uh. Just forgotten. kdepim-3.5.7-9.svn20070926.ent.fc8 (the enterprise branch) fixes the imap problem.
I can confirm the fix: kdepim-3.5.7-9.svn20070926.ent.fc8 restores IMAP inbox filtering. (I installed this on a F7 system from the fedora-development repository.)
kdepim-3.5.7-10.svn20070926.ent.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kdepim'
Added "fedora_requires_release_note" "+" We're using the more stable kdepim-enterprise for Fedora 8 (and also Fedora 7 as an update).
kdepim-3.5.7-10.svn20070926.ent.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
