Description wojnilowicz 2013-08-24 18:07:19 UTC

If I enable antispam filter (SpamAssassin or SpamBayes) I recive more than once every incoming e-mail.
It happens with IMAP account on Polish e-mail provider www.onet.pl. It doesn't happen with GMail. It has been observed for "auto checking for new e-mails" functionality.
The problem doesn't exist if antispam filter is disabled.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up an mail account on www.onet.pl (free of charge)
2. configure above account with kmail (IMAP way)
3. set up antispam filter
4. send e-mail to yourself
5. check for new e-mails on kmail
Actual Results:  
Identical messages are proliferating in my kmail mailbox and thus on mail server. They've got the same incoming date and titles.

Expected Results:  
One message on mail server. One message in my kmail mailbox.

I suspect, it can be encoding that an provider uses, i.e.
Onet uses:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
GMail uses:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Above are from message source.

Maybe some Kmail routine have problems to compare e-mails on server with e-mails that I already received and sends me something that I already have.

I have a similar problem with a POP3 account - I have SpamAssassin and Bogofilter installed and I also apply filters on the sender's email address to classify my messages into separate folders. About 1 out of every 3 emails from those that are filtered to go into one of the folders (but not the ones staying into the generic inbox) are duplicated. It seems related to Bug 283682 (but I am not sure).

Please let me know what types of log / tests I can provide

Sorry, forgot to specify I am on KDE 4.11.2 on OpenSUSE 12.3

Comment 3 Tobias Leupold 2013-12-01 14:54:05 UTC

Probably the same problem described in Bug #316419?

Comment 4 Angelos Skembris 2013-12-08 21:24:29 UTC

For me it seems to be the same problem, yes,

Comment 5 Tobias Leupold 2013-12-09 11:22:30 UTC

There are quite a few bugs around here complaining about duplicate emails after filtering. I found Bug #316419, Bug #95064, Bug #322126, Bug #322676 and there are probably even more.

Perhaps someone (a kmail developer?!) could check which bugs actually describe the very same problem, choose one of them to work on and mark the others as duplicates.

This is really annoying and I would love to see this fixed – I delete quite a lot of duplicate emails by hand each day.

Comment 6 Tobias Leupold 2014-01-12 17:02:12 UTC

I still see the problem in kmail-4.12.0.

Comment 7 Tobias Leupold 2014-12-08 21:08:30 UTC

This is very likely caused by the problem described in Bug #283682
