Description Simon Reed 2012-05-02 09:28:14 UTC
Either when I run filters manually, or sometimes just when starting KMail, I get loads of "Conflict resolution" messages about emails.

I cannot see any difference between the Left and Right emails.

I do not use IMAP.

Reproducible: Sometimes

In the example in the screenshot, that email is 3 weeks old and I have long since read it.
Comment 2 Simon Reed 2012-05-02 09:39:56 UTC
I have just amended a filter and manually re-run filters.  Of my 700 emails, last time it flagged up 40 or so requiring "Conflict resolution".  This time it has done so over 150 times.  I have to pick "Keep Both" as the poorly-designed dialog box makes it too hard to visually compare the differences.

I now have 973 emails so there must be about 250 potential duplicates now, with no easy way or working out which of each I need to keep.

What is the conflict that needs resolving?
Why does it do this?
Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2012-05-02 11:14:25 UTC
We need to have infos about which filters create conflicts.
Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2012-05-09 16:40:33 UTC
need infos.

By selecting all the messages in my Inbox, then manually running each filter in turn, the first problem I encountered was with "Filter Spam Handling" which gave me this when about 19% through my 1191 emails:

Then at 25% through:
http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-100512-120433.php

I got two more such dialog boxes.  I have never seen "blank" emails in the conflict message before.

It then came up with this conflict resolution dialog box:
http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-100512-120912.php

which appeared twice, then it transferred all but 10 of my emails into the SPAM folder.   :-(

The 'usual' conflict resolution did not appear - it doesn't when I manually apply the filters.  It only occurs when filters are applied automatically.  I shall try disabling all my 'personal' filters and see if the conflict resolution problem occurs using only the out-of-the-box spam handling filters.

I experience this problem once in a while too. Any message can lead to this problem. It appears to happen more often if more messages are filtered (hit ctrl + j several times)

Do you want copies of the contents of the resoluction dialog?
