Description Gianluca 2012-08-15 10:43:47 UTC 
If a filter is added or modified, when the modification is applied (via the "Apply" or "Ok" dialog button), all the messages (already filtered) from the last time a filter modification where applied (say, 3 months) reappead in the Inbox as New messages, but without the body of the message. This lead (in my case) to some thousand of duplicated messages.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a filter
2. work normally for some time (weeks, months)
3. create a new filter or modify an existing one
Actual Results:  
A duplication of all the message received (and already filtered) reappead as new in the Inbox, without the body message

Expected Results:  
At least that nothing happen, and no message should be touched.

The problem exist in the 4.7.x series, I am not sure in the 4.8.x since i not remember id I had modified or added a filter, and it exist in 4.9.0

What kind of account is your inbox on? IMAP (online or disconnected mode)? Maildir?
What kind of database is akonadi using (mysql/posgres/sqlite - check with "akonadiconsole", Server->Configure Server, don't change the type here though!).

I did modify my filers *a lot* of times, without running into this bug.
Try to also run "akonadictl fsck" from a terminal, maybe there are some

I use Maildir with internal Mysql Server.

Running "akonadictl fsck" in a terminal does not output anything.

I try to modify my filters and now (akonadi 1.8.1 and kdepim 4.9.2 on Archlinux) all the message from the last time I modified the filters keep reappearing (and then refiltered) in the inbox endlessy until I kill kmail
Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:35:26 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:05:29 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
