Re: [SLE] Kmail and read-only folders

Interesting experiment. There is no such process running on the server.
I have just tried using mutt on one of the read-only folders:
   mutt -f imaps://host/Mail/folder
and the folder wasn't in read-only mode...

This looks like a client problem. I have reboot my laptop, but that hasn't
helped.



[replying to myself, sorry]
Part of the mystery solved: we had NFS locks remaining on the server, and after doing whatever magic was necessary, mutt now behaves correctly (and I can delete messages, which I in fact couldn't do in the experiment above).

But Kmail still insists on thinking the folders are read-only


I don't use Kmail but it could be a lock file that has been left by the previous session of Kmail. It's worth a search.
On our Samba server I use "lsof /path/to/file" to find which process has the problem file locked.
