Hi, while updating to applications 17.04 I had a file conflict between kmail 16.12 and kmail 17.04. I did not dig further.
Working around it allowed to proceed the update process.
After the installation while trying to get help from kmail I get the "Documentation not Found" page.
Should I report this to bugzilla?
Regards,

Sorry to get back to you so late, but I had the same problem. It turns out to be only the documentation file (at least in my case) and, if you follow the link to that file, you will see that all it is is the symlink kmail2 that points to the kmail directory containing the docs.
If you delete the symlink, named kmail2, I am pretty sure it was, then it all works fine.

Hi Peter, thank you for your feedback. As I said in the original message I had worked around the problem.
But you are right, the other problem that I had is the result of the link to the documentation being mishandled.
In order for the documentation to work is necessary to restore the symbolic link.
In my case I had to:
cd /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/ ln -s kmail2 kmail

Thanks! I didn't realize I had to put the link back into
place
:-)
Well, you know...? I just had a look and you don't have to put the link back into place! If you remove the link as I had initially indicated, the update will put the documentation into a new folder called kmail2—at least, that is what happened on my system.

One possible explanation for this behavior is that I had a crash in rpm while updating due to a bug in libdb.
I tested the documentation is another machine that I have updated and it works so probably the problem is a remnant from the incomplete update.

Normally yes, and I probably would've noticed and fixed it sooner.
But, in this case, I (hopefully) just fixed it yesterday in kmail-17.04.1-2 build, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-17d7f8c5e7

Next time I will do it. :-)

I can confirm this.
