Can you please verify whether the emails are duplicated in the mbox files as well? Due to this problems, I've already downgraded to 4.10.5 again so I can not test this now. I have very few mails in the mbox accounts so I can not say if that was a problem, too, but at least I do not remember it being a problem. I just hit the same or a similar bug. Incoming mails were duplicated and sometimes ended up duplicated several hundred times in inboxes different from the receiving account(!). Some of the many hundred e-mails had no subject, no sender and no contents. It is not that easy to get rid of the duplicates somehow. I deleted them using the web interface on one of my accounts, but when I restarted KMail and Akonadi it didn't seem to notice that the e-mails were deleted on the server (or just uploaded some more duplicates), in any case it kept uploading junk. I set the imap agents to offline, ran akonadi fsck and akonadi vacuum a couple of times, deleted the junk in the web interface and then things seemed to work normally again. I see mail duplicates in 4.11.3 when a filter is applied to some incoming mail. Mails in the default inbox show up just one time, but when they are moved to another folder by a filter, I see them twice. Also, two files are stored in the maildir. I'm using kmail 4.11.2 on Kubuntu. I've deleted all filters I had, but the bug still appears. This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months. How is anyone supposed to know whether they're suffering from this "KMail produces duplicate messages" bug or any of the others that have been reported here (e.g., Bug 293918, Bug 322126, Bug 323980, Bug 362398, Bug 360344, Bug 346695, Bug 323767, Bug 319591, Bug 316425, Bug 280154)? All these reports have similar symptoms, and while they sometimes occur in different scenarios (e.g., POP vs. IMAP vs. local mbox/maildir accounts), I doubt the reporters exhaustively checked all the scenarios. So I'd say yes, keep this bug open for now. I am getting duplicated mails in KMail 5.3.0. The symptoms reported in this report (like many other reports) match mine. Tristan, thanks for reporting back, and for digging up all these likely duplicates. Cleaning up the "KMail duplicates on filter" bugs is already on my todo list, so you shouldn't worry to much about this. If all these bugs turn out to be actual duplicates, someone will eventually close all but one of them, and confirm the remaining one for at least version 5.3.0 thanks to your feedback. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 283682 *** |
