Greyed out messages in KMail

Fri Jun 20, 2014 9:37 pm
Hello everybody,

I'm having some troubles with KMail.

All my deleted or moved emails stay in their original folder but greyed out.

I haven't been able to find anything that could possibly indicate where the isssue is coming from.

Thank you for your help.

What type of account are you using? POP, IMAP?

I'm using two IMAP accounts, one Google Mail and one university account. Both are affected by the same problem.

I forgot to mention that my KMail version is 4.12.5.

Should I try to reinstall KMai/Kontact?

Given that you're on 4.12.5, what is the status of Desktop Search? (System Settings > Desktop Search)
Also you may want to check for debug output: open a terminal, issue "akonadictl restart" and try to reproduce the issue. See if any output is written there in the terminal.

I have removed all my identities, incoming and outgoing accounts and it seems that everything is working fine again.

If it is allright for you, I will wait a few days before I mark the post as "solved" to be sure everything is working fine :)

Thank you for your help,

How can I mark the topic as solved ?

For lurkers: Deleting and re-adding accounts worked for me, too. Must have broken something while playing with other IMAP features.

I know this topic is quite outdated, but I'm on KMail 5.2.3, August 2017, and I have the same problem. Is it possible that the bug is persisting since so long? Or this is not a bug but a "feature". In case affirmative, how to disable the feature?
Thanks.

I think it just came back.
