Description Waldo Bastian 2004-07-15 23:47:30 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

After deleting a few files by accident KMail has managed to create 75 KNotify messages all stating:

Cannot open file "/home/bastian/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.868280043.directory/INBOX":
No such file or directory

Whenever I close such message I get rewarded with two additional notifications.

Expected behavior:
1 message

Is it always the same message? What did you delete?
Comment 2 Waldo Bastian 2004-07-17 22:15:43 UTC 
Yes, it's mostly the same message, when I select a different IMAP folder I get a different message repeated many times.

I deleted ~/.kde

Hmm... kind of special bug - and not easily reproduceable. Kmail notification management has changed a lot since 2004. So there is a good chance that this works now. If not, please complain.
