Riddle me this: new/old problem with Kmail.
Ever since I moved to TDE with Debian Jessie, I've had this annoying but minor glitch. When I start up Kmai, I get some message that I need to re-index folders, usually just the inbox, or whatever folder I've used last.
(...)
Does anybody else have a problem like this? Or, how do I fix it?

I get this some time, mostly when I migrate the kmail directory to a new installation, or after a crash. Never enough to be a trouble.
I imagine you've done this allready, but what I do is delete all the files in .trinity/share/apps/kmail (not the directories, of course) and restart kmail, which re-indexes everything. I usually get a few unread messages which I "reread", then it's done.
On my side this happens when I delete mails from maildir folders that kmail has indexed. The next time kmail starts it recreates the indices of the affected folders.
Maybe the filepermissions/owner of the maildir folder is inconsistent?
