Bug#783071: kmail: configuration messes up with "last" and "most recent"
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.4.11.1+l10n-3+b1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Open kmail --> Settings -> Configure KMail...
Window "Configure - KMail" opened;
on the left list choose "Accounts";
tab "Receiving" lists one incoming account;
the one incoming account is highlighted;
activate button "Modify...";
window "Modify Account - KMail" opened;
activate tab "POP Settings";
have set these settings:
activate: Leave fetched messages on the server
de-activate: Leave messages on the server for
acivate: Keep only the last; edit: 155 messages
de-activate: Keep only the last; [MB]
de-activate: Filter messages if they are greater than
de-activate: Use pipelinig for faster mail download
Destination folder: inbox
Pre-command: <keep empty>
Click on button OK.
Window "Configure - KMail": Click on button OK.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Click on Action "Check Mail".
* What was the outcome of this action?
The very first time, when I did so, right after having installed kmail,
kmail left the 155 oldest (instead of 155 most recent) on the mail
server.
Trying to verify this behaviour, one week later, now, kmail keeps the
most recent mails on the mail server which is correct end expected.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The very first time configuring kmail, after having installed kmail,
to keep the 155 latest (most recent) mails on the mail server, the 155
most recent mails should have been left on the mail server; even in the
case when there are many mails received within the last year, 2014, in
the inbox of the mail server.
Keep in mind, that I was unable to reproduce the observed behaviour
described above. Possibly, for reproducing, it is necessary to uninstall
kmail from the system, and install/configure kmail, again. Keep also in
mind, that I use kmail within gnome (not KDE). Kmail seems to be mainly
designed for working well within KDE.
