--- Comment #5 from Nick <nick.craig....@gmail.com> --- On the same computer I created a new user. I then changed the default location of the maildir folder from /home/[user]/.local/share/local-mail to a folder called /home/[user]/emails. Both locations are on the same partition. No symbolic links are involved. kmail (or akonadi) then creates a directory file:/home/[user]/emails/inbox Even more oddly the ..inbox/ folder that contains the subdirectories new, cur and tmp, if you look inside new you will find another subdirectory called file: This path in full is shown here. This is created by either kmail or Akonadi. /home/marmite/file:/home/marmite/local-mail/inbox/new/file:/home/marmite/local-mail/inbox/new/new -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
