Summary: Akonadi spams my desktop with useless notifcations

Description Malte S. Stretz 2012-10-16 19:32:22 UTC
Akonadi spams me with the notification "Items requested for an unknown collection" all day long (cf. Screenshot). I have no idea what it is trying to tell me and I count myself as a more tech savvy person. I can't even deduce the correct ressource in this case since I have miltiple ressources with that name (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV). Since I added the latter just recently, I suspect the *DAV ones.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in to KDE
2. Get a notification
3. while (true) {
3a. Work
3b. Get a notification
3c. } 
Actual Results:  
Akoandi spams me with notifications all day long and I have no idea what they mean.

Expected Results:  
Please give me, as a user, a hint on how I can fix this. A Details button would be useful, or a direct link to report a bug or something; I have no idea what you are talking about my dear Akonadi but you are pretty annoying.

Nope, not a duplicate
Comment 4 Malte S. Stretz 2012-10-17 08:09:09 UTC
Sorry, wanted to write more and hit return accidently: This isn't a duplicate because the bug is about the useless notifications popping up on my desktop every few minutes where I as a user have no way to fix/mute them.

Another note: I've been spammed by other Akonadi notifications like this before (on 4.8 or so). So it is more a general problem of the Akonadi notifications.

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

I haven't seen any Akonadi notifications for a while but I'd still be able to get some details when one appears:

The Akonadi Tray app that was showing those notification has been removed in KDE Applications 15.08, so there won't be any more spam :)
