Summary: Outbox directory is no longer created, which causes an
startup error for KMail
Product: Akonadi
Version: 4.8
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Mail Dispatcher Agent
AssignedTo: kdepim-***@kde.org
ReportedBy: ***@gmail.com
CC: ***@kde.org


Version: 4.8 (using Devel)
OS: Linux

In the last week I had some instability of Plasma-desktop and krunner. Both
issues seemed to be related to the connectivity to the calendar and contacts
data (Plasma-desktop crashed due to the digital clock plasmoid and krunner
crashed based on the contacts runner).

I wiped out the full Akonadi setup for my local user (wiped the directories
$HOME/.local/share/akonadi, $HOME/.local/share/local-mail,
$HOME/.local/share/.local-mail.directory, $HOME/.config/akonadi and the akonadi
configuration files from $HOME/.kde4/share/config).

I started akonadi through akonadictl startup and everything seemed to be fine.
Starting Kmail to define my email accounts however gave the error : "KMail
encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Failed to
fetch the resource collection."

Further checking learned that the directory
$HOME/.local/share/.local-mail.directory is missing and this would be the
outbox. The "local folders" resource is created fine
($HOME/.local/share/local-mail).

Deleting the akonadi resources "Mail Dispatcher Agent" and "Local Folders" and
then to add them again, does not resolve the issue.

I am currently using the latest git for KDE (including Akonadi-runtime and
kdepim), but talking to the openSUSE KDE Maintainers this problem also occurs
with KDE 4.7 rc2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Setup Akonadi for the first-time.

Actual Results:
Missing outbox that causes KMail to crash

Expected Results:
The folder that contains the outbox is created

A quick test with a new user and (almost) the same kdepim-runtime version
didn't reveal anything.

With the help of Christophe, I managed to find the real cause of the issue. It
seems that the Akonadi-runtime package was not correctly build or contained
errors.

A local build of akonadi-runtime resolved the above mentioned issue and
everything seemed to be working fine again.

I am closing this bug report as resolved/invalid.
