Description Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2011-11-08 18:09:11 UTC 
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

On a new system, KMail Account Wizard crashed when creating an IMAP account, probably because of a duplicate account "IMAP-Konto 3", when out of nowhere some undefined bogus accounts named "IMAP-Konto 3" (sic!), "IMAP-Konto 4" and "IMAP-Konto 5" appeared in the account list.

For some reason, the crash information remained "unusable" even after installing the debug symbols:

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
These bogus accounts seem to appear quite often with the Akonadi implementation of KDEPIM 2. However it remains unclear, why the wizard didn't just count up and called the new account "IMAP-Konto 6".

Actual Results:  
The new IMAP-Account was correctly configured, while the SMTP account wasn't even though the information had already been collected.
After removing the duplicate "IMAP-Konto 3" account, the account correctly worked.

Expected Results:  
No crash. No duplicate bogus accounts. The SMTP account being configured as well.

without a backtrace I can't fix...

Sorry, but this backtrace is really not helpful.
