Description Oden Eriksson 2013-05-03 08:52:08 CEST
Searching for/in mails (in IMAP folders) is broken. This affects mga2 and current.

Please see the upstream bugreport for details:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282891

Been in contact with the kmail maintainer (Laurent Montel) about this problem and hope to see a fix soon.

Searching did work in MDV 2011.

Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Source RPM: kdepim4-4.8.5-1.2.mga2.src.rpm => kdepim4

Comment 1 Samuel Verschelde 2013-08-28 22:26:17 CEST
There's an upstream patch now, don't know what it does exactly. I didn't understand whether it fixes the bug or just adds error messages.

Comment 2 Oden Eriksson 2013-08-29 09:05:53 CEST
The patches needs to be backported. This adds a debug dialog only.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Oden Eriksson 2013-10-22 14:12:17 CEST
Beware this is still unfixed, at least in mga3 and probably latest upstream.

Very annoying...
Comment 5 David Walser 2013-10-23 15:28:44 CEST
I'm confused, earlier in this bug suggests there are patches upstream to fix this, then you say it's probably not fixed upstream?  Anyway, if it still affects Mageia 3, please change the version assignment on the bug, otherwise it will get closed.
Comment 6 Oden Eriksson 2013-10-23 16:26:11 CEST
No patches to fix this exists upstream, what I know. What I said was "The patches needs to be backported. This adds a debug dialog only."

But some bugs may have been fixed in 4.11.2:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282891#c25

mga3 has 4.10.5
Oden Eriksson 2013-10-23 16:26:53 CEST

Version: 2 => 3

Comment 7 Oden Eriksson 2014-01-21 12:13:07 CET
mga4 (cauldron) has 4.11.4 and the bug is still unfixed.
Comment 8 Oden Eriksson 2015-03-31 14:40:50 CEST
2 years later and still unfixed. The KDE KMAIL maintainer surely does not even use his own shit himself, I give up. Closing as WONTFIX.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
