Bug 153975

Summary: Same message appears twice in Exchange-hosted IMAP-inbox
Product: [Applications] kmail Reporter: mi+kde
Component: generalAssignee: kdepim bugs <kdepim-bugs>
Status: RESOLVED NOT A BUG    
Severity: normal    
Priority: NOR    
Version: 1.9.7   
Target Milestone: ---   
Platform: unspecified   
OS: FreeBSD   
Latest Commit: Version Fixed In:

Description mi+kde 2007-12-13 16:47:35 UTC
Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.6, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
OS:                FreeBSD (amd64) release 6.3-PRERELEASE

Every once in a while the same message would be listed twice in the inbox. Clicking on any of the entries would display the message, but deleting any of them will delete both.

Simply clicking back-and-forth between the messages will, eventually, get rid of the duplicate.

So far I only noticed this with the particular inbox hosted by an Exchange server (accessed via IMAP).

First observed in:

% kmail -v
Qt: 3.3.3
KDE: 3.3.1-6.RHEL4 Red Hat
KMail: 1.7.1

Still seen in the most recent release (accessing the same Exchange server).

A screen-shot (with some details erased) can be seen at http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/duplicate-messages.png
One of the duplicates is selected (orange background), the other one is right above it.

Already reported, this is either a duplicate of bug 118074 or of bug 95064.

Closing, see above
Comment 3 mi+kde 2007-12-15 18:15:31 UTC
Frankly, INVALID is a rather offensive resolution. Duplicate is bad enough, but invalid implies, the submitter is a doofus.

At least, "duplicate" links to the earlier one(s) offering more detail.

Sorry, I couldn't use DUPLICATE because I didn't know which bug of the two I should mark this a duplicate of.

>At least, "duplicate" links to the earlier one(s) offering more detail. 
I don't know what you mean. In bugzilla, "bug xxxx" in comments gets auto-converted to a link.
