After setting up KMail, my IMAP Account doesn't show anywhere other than the KMail account settings, I've tried rebooting my pc a few times, restarting the account... it's an IMAP outlook.office365.com account so maybe that has something to do with it?

I can go to "File" -> "Check Mail In" -> (account name) but that doesn't seem to do anything...

I can, however, send email through smtp.office365.com. This is frustrating because I don't see any error messages or anything!

EDIT: I'm on Kubuntu 16.04 with all updates and KMail 5.1.3...

Does it show on the list in "akonadiconsole"?

So, I'm having this problem. KMail 5.7.3 (according to 'About KMail'). The new account shows in Akonadi control, but it doesn't show sub-folders, like other IMAP accounts do. I can see my other IMAP accounts in KMail. No errors are thrown by KMail or Akonadi that I can see. Nothing about an invalid password or anything. This is connecting to outlook.office365.com as my IMAP server, if that matters.

Log output when I try to check e-mail: https://gist.github.com/jkugler/993f559 ... b233857a97

Hello!

I have the same issue. I’ve been trying to configure Kmail with Kolab via the Kolab v3 resource and as regular IMAP, without success. I’ve used Kmail before and it worked just fine with IMAP. The symptoms match: accounts are added by the wizard or manually, but the tree doesn’t get generated (I see only local mail).

I decided to use my test laptop and the issue appears there as well, that’s also where I did all the troubleshooting. I’ve tested on a fresh local user account, to make sure I get a fresh copy of the Akonadi store. Akonadi crashed badly when starting up Kmail, it generated a report. Those are the errors:

I’ve managed to fix ERROR 15, by creating this folder: /home/[my username]/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/

Without this, Kmail would just complain that Akonadi is dead and it won’t start without Akonadi. After that I arrived at the same situation that Pedahzur and prichards.

There are accounts added, but I can’t see the mail folders in the tree on the left. Restarting KMail and the whole computer didn’t help. Manually downloading the mail or setting it to be checked on start-up of KMail also didn’t help. There should be a progress bar in the bottom right corner indicating that KMail is downloading mail or at least trying to, but it’s gone.

I’ve installed akonadiconsole and I have little to report. In debug mode when clicking in KMail to fetch mail from all boxes I see that the local maildir is being accessed (akonadi_maildir_resource_0 (0xf81f40)), but there’s no sign of the IMAP account. As if it wasn’t there to begin with.

In the resource list I see my IMAP account. In Monitors I see akonadi_imap_resource_0 and as its sub-entries I see two AgentBaseChangeRecorder objects.

I’ve checked mysql/mariadb logs in /home/username/.local/share/akonadi/db_data and there are multiple errors.

Hello again,

I think I have a solution. Obviously, no guarantees!

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR MAIL WITH THE BACKUP WIZARD

Stop all programs using Akonadi, mainly KMail/Kontact
Install akonadiconsole (in my case apt install akonadiconsole)
Run akonadiconsole
From within akonadiconsole go to Server > stop server

Verify. The only thing detected by grep is grep itself

Code: Select all

td@topaz:~$ ps aux | grep akonadi
td        3361  0.0  0.0  14164  1016 pts/0    S+   16:56   0:00 grep --color=auto akonadi

Indeed, the server is stopped. Now rename the folders keeping akonadi resources in ~/.local/share (it's safer to rename instead of removing, just in case). In my case I had those:

Code: Select all

td@topaz:~/.local/share$ ls -la | grep akon
drwxrwxr-x  5 td td 4096 lip  8 16:46 akonadi
drwxrwxr-x 10 td td 4096 lip  7 11:58 akonadi_maildir_resource_0
drwxrwxr-x  3 td td 4096 lip  7 11:55 akonadi_migration_agent

Double-check

Code: Select all

td@topaz:~/.local/share$ ls -la | grep akon
drwxrwxr-x  5 td td 4096 lip  8 16:46 akonadi_fixing
drwxrwxr-x 10 td td 4096 lip  7 11:58 akonadi_maildir_resource_0_fixing
drwxrwxr-x  3 td td 4096 lip  7 11:55 akonadi_migration_agent_fixing

Make sure you have the akonadi/db_data subfolder

td@topaz:~/.local/share$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/akonadi/db_data

Start akonadiconsole, ignore the two errors, server > start server
Start kmail and configure your account

I've managed to fix my installation this way and connect to a GMail account. I've successfully downloaded my mail.

Did this help anybody else? How can I let the devs / package maintainers know about this?

I'm also suffering this problem. KMail 5.1.3 on Kubuntu 16.04.5. My email provider uses IMAP, and I've correctly configured KMail for both the Incoming and Outgoing servers. No errors are being reported when launching KMail. Only Local Folders are shown. I can create and send emails, but I can't receive any emails, as none of the IMAP Account folders are being recognized/displayed. Akonadiconsole Agents tab shows the IMAP agent and it shows as 'Ready'.

Hello.

Has anyone found an unambiguous solution? I have this problem with KMail 5.13.3 (19.12.3). I created two receiving records but only one shown by KMail. All records on one imap server (Cyrus IMAP 2.5.15, I have full access to it). I tested this for new user without any KDE settings. OS Linux.

I don't like using random resources for reports. Ok, I filled the bug: https://bugs.kde.org/419872. It's probably the right thing to do.

UPD: I found out why: https://bugs.kde.org/419872#c1 ("Enable server-side subscriptions" checkbox).

Hi all!
I had the same issue: configured imap account presented in kmail settings and having "ready" state in akonadiconsole, but absence of in navigation panel.
Try to navigate into Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Accounts -> (tab) Receive -> <select your account created> -> Configure... -> (tab) Advanced.
Check here "Enable subscription on server", then select some folders to subscript by clicking button "Subscription on server...". After applying this all my account has appeared in the navigation panel at left.

Sorry for ambigous identifiers, I have different localization. Hope you find them.
