I have set up procmail to deliver emails directly to my kmail inbox (maildir) folder. All is fine, except when kmail is open and showing the inbox. Email delivered in this moment will not show in kmail, even after changing the folder or even restarting kmail. The only possible solution is to copy the mail by hand from maildir/new to maildir/cur after which it is shown. The maildir seems perfectly alright, only kmail 'doesn't understand' that mails are there. (In addition, once I managed to 'lose' a whole maildir-folder whose contents only showed up after renaming it by hand, don't know how to reproduce this, thought) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up procmail to deliver mails to ~/Mail/inbox/ 2. Open kmail and open the inbox 3. Send a mail to yourself Actual Results: the sent mail is correctly delivered (as far as I understand maildir-folders), but is never shown by kmail Expected Results: the mail should just normally show up as it does when fetched by kmail itself It could be that this is a mistake of mine, perhaps I should use a certain lockfile or sth like that. I asked in the forums and nobody answered .. so I thought, I'd better post it as a bug. using kde 3.2.2, kmail 1.6.2, procmail 3.22 emerge info: Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.5-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distcc sandbox userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" MAKEOPTS="-j4" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://10.0.0.1/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X acpi alsa apache2 apm arts artswrappersuid avi berkdb crypt cups divx4linux dvd encode fbcon flac foomaticdb gdbm gif gtk2 icq imlib jabber java jpeg kde libg++ libwww linguas_de mad maildir mbox mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls nptl offensive oggvorbis opengl oscar pam pda pdflib perl pic png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang spell ssl svg tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb videos x86 xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib"
