Description of problem: When started in Plasma Mageia-6-rc, kmail appears to ignore the 'maildir' DB in ~/mail, instead showing an empty default minimal local-folder structure. N.B. Problem not there with Mageia-6-sta2... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.4.3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kmail 2. Note empty folder structure on left. (Input, Sent etc) 3. [Note that in Settings/Accounts/Local folders, 'Modify' shows that '/home/user/mail' is set as 'folder containing the maildir info' and "The selected path is a valid Maildir." 4. 'Update folder' has no effect.

N.B. Have just been able to (Plasma) install the same Mageia-6-rc .iso on UEFI/GPT laptop (using DVD). The 5.4.3 Kmail in that install picks up the ~/mail directory 1st time... So presumably on the desktop install there is something different in the Kmail settings that is causing Kmail to ignore ~/mail. Is there a list somewhere of all the files that are involved with Kmail that could cause such a problem? Note (as stated earlier) that in Kmail's Settings/Accounts/Local folders, 'Modify' shows that: '~/mail' is set as 'folder containing the maildir info' and "The selected path is a valid Maildir." (POP not IMAP)
Assuming something in $HOME had got scrambled, I cloned ~/kde, ~/.config and ~/.local (from the Mageia-6-rc running happily on the laptop with Kmail using ~/mail) onto the desktop whose Mageia-6-rc kmail wasignored ~/mail. But it still ignored ~/mail. So a replaced ~/mail with a copy of the latest 'production' from Mageia-5 - and the desktop's Mageia-6-rc kmail DID then use ~/mail. So this bug can be closed, but I can throw no more light on what caused the problem other than 'something got screwed up in $HOME'... [CLOSED]
To close a bug, please change the "Status" to "RESOLVED > FIXED" :)
