<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote">Hello Everybody At a fresh install of Kubuntu 11.10 at a netbook, I am trying to get started with Kontact - along with KMail2, KDE 4.7.2., akonadi-googledata and GMAIL. In spite of my good experience with a few previous versions of Kontact, KDE and Kubuntu, I do have a few major difficulties with respect to e-mail and calendar in the new configuration summarised here. With respect to e-mail, I can summarise my difficulties as follows: <ul><li>I do not manage to send e-mail, although I configure the SMTP settings of KMAIL according to the instructions at <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a> - <a href="http://bit.ly/HfeDnV" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/HfeDnV</a> - via TOOLS > configure KMAIL > accounts > sending. </li><li>when trying to sync my "disconnected" IMAP e-mail folders, I only do get a the messages of probably the last 48 to 72 hours - when the synchronisation gets stuck, I get the following message: unknown error. (unable to fetch item from backend).</li> </ul>On the other hand, each e-mail which has been labelled into a specific folder does appear into the equivalent "disconnected" IMAP folder. So, the synchronisation problem has to do with older messages without any label. At the internet, I have found reports about similar problems, especially when giving in the search string "unknown error. (unable to fetch item from backend) Kubuntu". However, I did not yet manage to find instructions actually solving my problems. With respect to the calendar, I have imported a backup from my backup of my previous configuration into: <ul><li>the standard "personal calendar" - together with the tasks;</li> <li>GMAIL calendar - however without the tasks.</li> </ul>So far, I do not manage to synchronise the personal calendar with the one at Google- not via akonadi-resource, also not via "DAV groupware resource", as worked out in this page: <a href="http://userbase.kde.org/Working_with_Google_Calendar" target="_blank">http://userbase.kde.org/Working_with_Google_Calendar</a> However it may be, I would like to integrate the local "personal" calendar I have now with the one at Google. Also the tasks I want to integrate and include in this synchronisation effort. Any ideas, thoughts? Thanks! Respectfully yours, Bas Roufs. -- ==================== Bas G.
