After installing an offline IMAP patch from openrepos that synchs and downloads your IMAP email folders for offline use, and after phone reboot my entire email app has disappeared, i removed the offline imap patch, rebooted and tried restore from SFOS backup- no cigar.

How do i reinstall SFOS email package/app cover?

Also cant add email to accounts any longer all email accounts and settings are gone. Restore from SFOS backup does not restore email accounts, only Jolla and Fruux.

thank you very much @atlochowski that did the trick after install of jolla-mail restore from backup added back the email accounts in the email app, the jolla-email install also added back the email account settings page in SFOS that had disappeared so maybe it installed the dependencies automatically?

yes, it should install all dependencies

pkcon search name email is returning a bunch of packages that you should reinstall. I would suggest the following:

  • jolla-settings-accounts-extensions-email for the setting pages to add accounts.
  • sailfish-components-email-qt5 for shared components like the composer page.
  • jolla-email-settings for the email setting page in app grid.
  • jolla-email the application itself.

In case you need to reinstall the low level also, these are the packages involved:

  • nemo-qml-plugin-email-qt5 the QML bindings.
  • libqmfclient1-qt5 the backend client-side.
  • libqmfmessageserver1-qt5 the backend, handling message reception and emission.

but all this packages are required by jolla-email what you can see by typing

pkcon get-depends jolla-email

I think first he should to install jolla-email than try to do what you have written.

You're right, I didn't see your answer when writing mine ;)

But since some files have been modified by a patch (from my understanding) without notifying the packet manager, the full solution is either to look at the patch and then from the list of modified files deducing which packages should be reinstalled (maybe I agree just jolla-email in the best scenario), or to go brute force and reinstall everything anyway.
