Description piedro 2019-03-01 15:18:04 UTC

SUMMARY
In the Kmail settings onder identites there are hundreds of "unknown" identities. After deletion the show up again... 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I do not know how to produce this result but this has been a clean user account with only 2 imap identities setup when this started...  

OBSERVED RESULT
deletion seems to have an effect for the moment but later these empty ghost identites show up again... 


EXPECTED RESULT
"unknown" identites should not be auto-created and at the least deletion should work as expected!

You can't. Only the title can be edited

Comment 3 Christophe Marin 2019-03-04 09:16:15 UTC

are the ~/.config/emailidentities permissions correct?

Comment 4 piedro 2019-03-08 01:23:44 UTC

Yes the permissions are correct! - I deleted close to one thousand "unknown" identity references in this file now (btw. it grew huge, 850k)... and left the ones I created... until now they have not reappeared... 

Akonadi shouldn't do things like that.  

p.

it's good as it's not akonadi which creates it :)
