A big improvement has resulted from installing the whole of the Gentoo kdepim-meta package with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64". KMail is still at the same version, but the supporting programs are newer than they were (or new to the system). Since I made this change a few days ago I've had no duplicates at all. It's difficult to know which (now superseded) program had the bug in it because I'd have to uninstall the whole of KDE-Pim and install it again a few programs at a time. I could do that if necessary. I've found it necessary for KMail to be installed after all the other PIM programs; when I do that I also get my "trash" folder renamed to "wastebin" (thank you, translation team!). For info, these are the packages that kdepim-meta pulls in: akonadiconsole, akregator, blogilo, calendarjanitor, kabcclient, kaddressbook, kalarm, kdepim-icons, kdepim-kresources, kdepim-runtime, kjots, kleopatra, kmail, knode, knotes, konsolekalendar, kontact, korganizer, ktimetracker, ktnef, kde4-l10n, kdepim-l10n. That's the order in which they appear in the ebuild. Hope that helps. That turned out to be illusory. Before long I was getting large numbers of duplicates, sometimes just by clicking on another folder. I now think the problem is some errors in old e-mails, against which KMail-2 is not rubust, so I've moved and renamed the suspect folders and created new ones in their place. I'll see how it goes now. That didn't work either, so I created a new user for myself and didn't import any e-mails at all. Guess what? Still getting duplicates. If there were any other acceptable e-mail client I'd switch to it, but you have me trapped. I've belatedly discovered akonadiconsole. I used it to clear the akonadi caches of the troublesome folders, then resynchronise them. Pro tem, it seems this has done the trick: whatever rubbish has been lurking in those folders appears to have been cleared out. Now when I get a duplicate, which I still do most days, when I view one of the pair the other one disappears. It's a phantom and doesn't appear in the trash or anywhere else. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 283682 *** |
