[opensuse-kde] Duplicate mails in Kmail IMAP mailbox
I'm using Kmail to read my mail from an IMAP account. I have Kmail installed on my desktop, which runs 24/7, and on my laptop, which is on intermittently. When the laptop comes online, I see multiple copies of messages appearing in the desktop inbox. When the laptop disconnects, they disappear, leaving only one copy of each message. My HTC Android phone never shows any duplicate copies, so I think it is some sort of interaction between the two running instances of Kmail. The account settings in Kmail are the same on each machine: General tab Incoming mail server: imap.gradwell.net Port: 993 Login: xxx Password: yyy Store IMAP password: yes Include in manual mail check: yes Enable interval mail checking: yes IMAP Settings tab Automatically compact folders (expunges deleted messages): yes Show hidden folders: no Show only server-side subscribed folders: yes Show only locally subscribed folders: yes Load attachments on demand: yes List only open folders: yes Wastebin folder: Local Folders/wastebin Namespaces: Personal: <Empty> Anyone spot an incorrect setting?

General tab
Incoming mail server: imap.gradwell.net Port: 993 Login: xxx Password: yyy
Store IMAP password: yes Include in manual mail check: yes Enable interval mail checking: yes
IMAP Settings tab
Automatically compact folders (expunges deleted messages): yes Show hidden folders: no Show only server-side subscribed folders: yes Show only locally subscribed folders: yes Load attachments on demand: yes List only open folders: yes Wastebin folder: Local Folders/wastebin
Namespaces: Personal: <Empty>
Anyone spot an incorrect setting?

Interestingly, it's stopped happening since I switched to using Thunderbird on the laptop. Some sort of loop condition between the two Kmails logged into the same IMAP server?

Could be an effect of akonadi proxing things ? Certainly the way to look at. Bob, did you use the same username on the desktop and laptop, said in another way, are your home synchronized between the two ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Maybe, as it doesn't happen with Thunderbird, which presumably doesn't use akonadi. But I'm not sure how to investigate that idea.

Same username and UID, but not synchronised/mirrored.
