Description Andreas Demmer 2008-06-25 13:41:36 UTC 
With KDE4.1 comes a new release of KMail, starting from KMail version 1.9.52. Since Beagle fails to index the e-mails from a disconnected IMAP account (which worked perfectly on older KDE3 versions of KMail), it is likely that the Beagle KMail slave needs some reworking.

Could someone please check and verify this?

Need a few info...

1. What is the output of "$ find ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap/ -type d" ?
2. Also, if you start beagled as "beagled --fg --backend KMail --indexing-delay 0", can you attach the terminal output ?
3. Output of "$ beagle-manage-index ~/.beagle/Indexes/KMailIndex info" ?

> 1. What is the output of "$ find ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/dimap/ -type d" ?

The KMail directory is no longer located there, its new location is ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/dimap/ (watch the kde4 directory in the path). If I use the command mentioned above with the correct location, it lists my IMAP folders with "cur", "new" and "temp" subfolders each.

Should the solution really be so simple that just the path is not correct? Can I fix this myself?

Starting Beagle Daemon (version 0.3.7)
Always: Running on Mono 1.9.1
Always: Command Line: /usr/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --fg --backend KMail --indexing-delayal output ?

Then a very long time nothing. :-)

Comment 3 Andreas Demmer 2008-06-26 12:06:49 UTC 
As guessed above, the only thing to do is to fix the location where beagle looks for mails.

I symlinked the new location the old location and beagle mail indexing works again:
ln -s ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail

Any chance to fix this in an upcoming release of beagle, so that beagle recognizes where the mails are stored?
Comment 4 Debajyoti Bera 2008-07-09 03:55:14 UTC 
I changed the look in ~/.kde4/... if ~/.kde/... does not exist. That should take care of KMail in KDE4. Changes in svn r4818.
