Hi All-
I'm using KMail 1.6.2 on KDE 3.2.2 to connect to a Cyrus IMAP server
that I operate.
I've configured KMail to use an imap folder on the server as the draft
message folder. I had a problem with disk space on the imap server
where the partition holding this draft message folder filled up
completely (had about an hour of time during which this condition was
true).
During that time (that the partition was full), I opened a message in my
draft folder (one I've spent about 4-6 hours composing), made some
changes to it, then attempted to store it in the draft message folder
again using the "Message->Save in Drafts Folder" menu item (not knowing
about the disk space problem).
KMail said: "Can't save to file ares" where ares is the name of the imap
server and then closed the draft message window, apparently not storing
it anywhere in either KMail's local folder system or on the filesystem
or anywhere else that I can find.
Recovering a copy of this draft message would save me about 4-6 hours of
rewriting the message, but I'm completely at a loss about where
KDE/KMail might have saved it (if it saved it at all). In my
experience, it's very rare for a well-developed unix app like KMail to
do something like throw away content like that. Does anyone here know
if (and where) KDE/KMail might have stored it? I looked in the .kde
folder, I looked for a dead.letter file, I looked in all the places
that it would seem obvious to store it
(.kde/cache-hostname, .kde/tmp-hostname, .kde/share/apps/kmail, etc.)
but haven't seen it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
-Kevin
