Description Mathias Homann 2017-06-09 12:41:27 UTC

Sometimes when I delete or move multiple emails from the same folder, kmail copies the mails into the destination, but does NOT remove them from the source folder... but when I look in the source folder with any other imap client (i.e. thunderbird) the mails are actually gone from the source folder, just not in kmail.

workaround exists: quit kmail / kontact, restart the akonadi server, then run akonadictl fsck and akonadictl vacuum.

and yes I DO CONSIDER THIS A GRAVE BUG.

I can confirm this here.
Testing Fedora 26 which has the same version of Kmail and I am also using IMAP. Restarting akonadi clears it for me. Its a tough one as it does not happen all of the time on this box.

Maybe related to this long standing bug?

I'm not sure about that, this one is more like the total opposite, the message content disappears from the preview area but the list stays what it was.
