HI
Upgraded this morning and it didn;t work until the fixed kdepim runtime was installed and the i used it quite happily. I then logged out and did some other work on another login and logged out. I returned to this login and the thing went crazy and started duplicating thousands of emails and leaving them marked as unread. Using the "remove duplicates" menu option does not seem to make any difference to the number of emails duplicated. I've also tried the akonadictl fsck/vacuum and that hasn't made any difference to the "remove duplicates" functions. I'll keep trying to see if the remove dups starts working.
This problem has been around for many years. It pre-dates the use of Akonadi so I don't see that can be blamed. I tried switching from POP to IMAP after someone suggested that would cure the problem but it still continued.
I've only come across it when there's an update to kmail and its related stuff but definitely since kmail2. I don;t recall ever having it before then.
Problem got worse when kmail2 appeared on the scene as each duplicate e-mail prompted a pop-up window asking for a decision on which version should be kept. Naturally, I had no idea so would pick one at random. That development annoyed me more as it seemed to me that someone had decided that something needed doing about the problem but had passed the buck onto the user instead of fixing it. Needless to say, I gave up on kmail before I suffered RSI through clicking away on thousands of pop-up windows after every logon.
