Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux Since upgrading to kmail2, both "KMail folders" and "Local folders" folder collections (inbox, outbox, draft, trash etc.) appear in the main folder collection of kmail. I can see in the Akonadi configuration where the "Local folders" are coming from. Trying to remove them has no result, as they automatically reappear. There is no immediately evident source/reason for "KMail folders" to appear too and no evident way to remove them. This is confusing and useless. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Update to kmail2 in a user directory that already contains KDE 4.6.5 configuration data (and user used to use kmail1). Look at default folder collections (before adding any other configuration). Actual Results: Both "KMail folders" and "Local folders" appear. None of these are removable. Expected Results: Only one of these two should appear.
I have the exact same issue. I am currently trying to see which folders are the same and move between them, not touching my inbox, just in case I have to revert to the old structure. This has been such a failure of epic proportions as to be embarrassing to kmail developers everywhere.
This is how migration creates the accounts. Seems it doesn't mark the migrated account's inbox/outbox as special folders, instead creates a new local folder for them. If no special folders are present, a local folder account is automatically created, otherwise you'd not be able to send mails.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
It seems to be fixed now. The "Kmail folders" are not anymore added automatically to configuration. I guess this could be closed. Sorry for having lost it of sight.
