Description Anne Wilson 2008-03-11 21:12:10 UTC
Version:           3.5.9 (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

One IMAP folder always gets two copies of every message.  I have been using the menu option to Remove Duplicate Messages once daily to resolve this.  Today, using newly installed 3.5.9, the three messages which had been duplicated now show as a single message each, with subject intact, but empty body.

The message appears to be undamaged in the folder - I can read it in kwrite
Comment 2 Anne Wilson 2008-03-13 09:44:10 UTC
I can now read those messages.  At some point something (an index file) has regenerated and there is no longer a problem.  It's still unclear how and why this happened, but unless this recurs I propose closing the bug.
Comment 3 Anne Wilson 2008-03-13 10:24:53 UTC
I meant that to say '(an index file?)'
