[edit] Bugsquad
This section is for Bugsquad. The bugs in this list still need someone to double-check and (hopefully) close them.

[edit] Developers
The bugs in this section need a developer to look at them for various reasons. Due to the additional information provided by Bugsquad this is supposed to be fast.
[edit] INVALID
Bugs in this section are presumably INVALID.
| Bug | triaged by | comment |
|---|---|---|
| | dtritscher | Basically I can confirm that issue, but as it is caused by a wrong mimetype set by MS Outlook this should be marked as INVALID. |
[edit] DUPLICATE
Bugs in this section are presumably DUPLICATES of other bugs.
| Bug | triaged by | duplicate of | comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| bug #88603 | gkiagia | bug #90479 | I created a new folder that can contain subfolders and then it disappeared from kmail. No matter what I do, this folder does not appear at all in kmail, so I cannot test this bug. |
| bug #90275 | gkiagia | bug #85896 | This is a bug specific to a kde 3.2->3.3 upgrade. Must be a duplicate of bug #85896 |
| bug #140543 | jtamate | bug #140429 | no comment |
| bug #68345 | finex | bug #68345 | Seems a dup of bug #64342. jtamate: They are similar, but in 64342, the timezone of the application is moved (and also is in solaris), and in 68345 only the appointment is displaced. |
[edit] WISH
Bugs in this section are presumably wishlist items.
| Bug | triaged by | comment |
|---|---|---|
| | jtamate | looks like a wish. To detect if an attached file is compressed and unchecking the compress check box, to send it uncompressed. |
| | gkiagia | The bug itself is not reproducable, but there is still a minor slugginess with that mail icon behind the cursor that we might be able to improve... |
| bug #94878 | dtritscher | Quite sure this is a wish |
| bug #92696 | dtritscher | Not sure about that, but that should go as WISH to kdelibs |
| bug #103807 | lemma | Layout of the composer window. This could be made a wish. |
| bug #139293 | jtamate | subfolders not inherit parent identity settings. |
| bug #158492 | lemma | Reporter wants a "Suspend all" button on the reminder form. Definitely a wish. |
| | katastrophe | is a wish i think |
| bug #110190 | unknown | Clearly a wish. probably already implemented |
| bug #91777 | lemma | DBus sendMessage() reply doesn't indicate if the mail was sent. This is by design. |
[edit] HIGH PROFILE
This section contains bug that someone deemed more important than the other bugs.
| Bug | triaged by | comment |
|---|---|---|
| bug #95064 | lemma | Mails getting duplicated by KMail (IMAP). Seems to be tied to certain setups and I can't reproduce myself. tmcguire suggested it was most likely still there. |
[edit] ATTENTION
Bugs in this section need special attention for various reasons. They mostly concern policy decisions.
| Bug | triaged by | reason | comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| | gkiagia | unsure | This is a JJ which I cannot test simply because I don't know how to trigger on purpose an imap error message. However, I think it should be easy for a kmail developer to tell if this has been implemented or not by looking at the code :) |
| bug #86127 | lemma | policy | Policy decision regarding persistent connections on dIMAP and modal dialog boxes on connection loss. |
| bug #85896 | lemma | outdated | Bug related to upgrading from KDE 3.2.x to 3.3b1. Some discussion happened on the bug. Please check if it can be closed. |
| bug #90386 | gkiagia | policy | I don't really understand that. It looks like a policy decision. |
| bug #125887 | sahaqiel | policy | This could be by design, the delete button isn't in the messageviewer toolbar (and isn't even possible), maybe because deleting permanently an open message could lead to crashes? Anyway still present in 3.5.x and 4.1.1 |
| bug #125265 | sahaqiel | special | This bug requires a corrupt index from what i gathered. Don't know how to test, and don't know if it's still an issue. |
| | jtamate | policy | the user has is TMPDIR not in /tmp, so clamd can not check its mails. The question is, shoul he know how to change the rights in is tmp folder or should kmail use always /tmp to spawn processes. |
| bug #85475 | gkiagia | policy | This is actually two bugs in one. The first one is a policy decision (whether kmail should refuse to open malformated emails that do not include the MIME-Version header) and the second one is a related bug. |
| bug #93725 | dtritscher | unsure | No idea how to reproduce it. Additionally I don't know what addional infos I should request from the reporter. |
| bug #104288 | lemma | patch | Tobias Koenig attached a patch for this bug. Not sure if that one made it in. Please check. |
| | vperic | policy | Message headers need to have quotes in some cases, according to some standard mentioned in the bug report. |
| bug #157097 | vperic | unsure | Involves manual deletion of ".index*" files - Lemma said I should mention it here. |
| | vperic | unsure | Works fine for me. --VPeric. Works fine for Lemma and apparently tmcguire as well. Reporter used the enterprise branch. What should we do about that bug? |
| bug #93812 | lemma | unsure | needs a Courier IMAP server. reporter was asked if the bug was still reproducible in 2005 but hasn't replied, patch existing on a duplicate bug (123563, thiago). not sure if it was applied. - likely to be FIXED according to tmcguire, asked for reporter's feedback. Reporter's setup changed so he can't reproduce. I think we should recheck if that patch went in and close as WORKSFORME. |
| bug #101425 | tictric | policy | Is not reproducible for us since we have no mail with that particular to, from and cc situation at hand. Furthermore this reported bug could also be considered as a different point of view that can but doesn't have to be shared. See it as a policy decision. |
| | tictric | policy | I could not reproduce that a mail doesn't get displayed correctly at first in trunk (though I know that behaviour from previous versions) but there seems to be different ideas about what messages should be displayed first when I enter a (imap)folder. My question also is if this should be configurable |
| bug #94777 | lemma | unsure | Read mails reappear as unread. I seem to have seen this once or twice but I don't remember how to reproduce. |
| | gkiagia | unsure | I don't know how to reproduce but there is a comment stating that this is present in 4.1.0. I asked for instructions. |
| | lemma | unsure | korganizer week-view LTR/RTL. There was some conversation and some patches flowing. Not sure about the status. |
| bug #83107 | gkiagia | wontfix | VERY minor issue, maybe a WONTFIX. A developer should decide if this is going to be fixed or not. |
| | lemma | developer | Size of the korganizer reminder dialog, Allen Winter has been on it. low priority |
| bug #158661 | lemma | developer | Edit recurrence button, Allen Winter has been on it. |
| | lemma | developer | crash, hard to describe. Allen Winter has been on it. |
| | lemma | unsure | Allen Winter fixed this and asked for reply but didn't receive any. I think it should be WORKSFORME. |
| | lemma | policy | User suggests shift+delete on groupware resources should delete irrevocably. I'm not sure about that. Policy? |
| | finex | unsure | Bug partially solved, local calendar saved automatically, in case of crash the information are not lost. The error message (when the save operation is not possible due to problems) should be improved. |
| bug #151827 | lemma | policy | Remote file korganizer resource behaviour (use on multiple pcs). Reproducible on trunk r865573. |
| bug #151979 | lemma | policy | Dragging To-dos to the calendar view. Policy. r865573. |
| bug #93670 | gkiagia | wontfix | Support for opening multiple korganizer windows when korganizer is embedded in kontact. Policy stuff... IMHO, this should be changed to wishlist, wontfix. |
| bug #165212 | grundleborg | developer | winterz, what to do with this one??? |
| bug #165561 | grundleborg | unsure | feature request? Will it be implemented? |
| bug #165599 | grundleborg | policy | What's the intended behaviour in this situation? |
| bug #166118 | grundleborg | policy | Does KMail store passwords outside of KWallet at all? |
| bug #101042 | gkiagia | wontfix | Reproducable, minor. maybe a WONTFIX? |
| bug #123814 | katastrophe | unsure | i think this is a valid bug |
| bug #60138 | fvilas,lemma | unsure | Triaged as not reproducible. However not sure about it. |
| bug #57341 | fvilas,lemma | unsure | Triaged as not reproducible. However not sure about it. |
| | lemma | unsure | Triaged as not reproducible. However not sure about it. |
| bug #80995 | opensourcecat | policy | It is not clear if this can be implemented. "wish" doesn't apply. |
| | opensourcecat | unknown | devs have to check that |
| bug #37898 | lemma | important,unsure | a lot of discussion, probably fixed |
| | lemma | unsure | this might be resolved |
| | lemma | policy | behaviour of the sign button when switching identities |
| bug #57192 | lemma | policy | sticky identity overwrites identity if editing drafts. bug or wish? |
| bug #75045 | jlp | unsure | bug couldn't be triggered, but is it fixed? |
| bug #77058 | jlp | policy | this might not be a bug |
