Sometimes, it seems when Akonadi is under load, I see this: Whenever I move a mail or click on the icon for marking a mail spam via a manuel filter which moves it to the spam folder, the mail does not disappear from the source folder of the move operation until I restart KMail. It does appear in the destination folder tough and then it seems I have a duplicate mail. After restarting KMail all is fine tough. Also marking a mail as read does not yield any visible change until I restart KMail. I also tried viewing the folder in Akonadiconsole, but there the progress sign didn´t disappear. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Akonadi under load or whatever else is needed to trigger this. Trying after having triggered retrieving lots of new mails from POP3 resource or on initial indexing all mails triggered this for me. 2. Move a mail to another folder. 3. Mark a mail as read Actual Results: 2. Moved mail case: KMail does not delete the mail from the source folder message list, still when showing the destination folder it usually appears there. Thus the mail appears twice, once in the source and once in the destination folder. 3. Mark mail case: Marked as read mail still appears as unread. Expected Results: 2. Mail move case: Mail is removed from source mail folder message list immediately or at least marked as being in the process of being moved. 3. Mark mail case: Mail is marked as read immediately. Immediate feedback to the user is crucial IMHO. This is being discussed at: [kdepim-users] KMail not updating source folders on move operations unless restarted http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdepim-users&m=136569681820899&w=2 According to O. Sinclair this is also been discussed on the developers "kde-pim" mailing list, but I didn´t find it right now. Since I didn´t see this reported in Bugzilla, I reported this. In case I missed a report, sorry for the duplicate. I use the following setup: 1) I had all mails in ~/Mail 2) I moved all recent mails from ~/Mail to a newly created BTRFS subvolume ~/.Mail so that I can snapshot it. I moved all the archived mails to ~/.Mail-Archiv, as these are mbox folders. 3) Then I let the migrator run so that it puts my account information into kmail2rc. 4) For each POP3 account I use I created an extra maildir agent pointing it at the maildir and then selecting "Synchronize All" in Akonadiconsole. Thus for my main account Lichtvoll I gave it ~/.Mail/Lichtvoll as maildir directory for example: drwx------ 1 martin martin 18 Apr 11 08:33 Lichtvoll drwx------ 1 martin martin 4106 Apr 11 17:28 .Lichtvoll.directory -rw------- 1 martin martin 4312743 Apr 11 08:33 .Lichtvoll.index -rw------- 1 martin martin 33909 Apr 11 08:33 .Lichtvoll.index.ids For local mails I created: drwx------ 1 martin martin 18 Jan 2 11:36 Lokal drwxr-xr-x 1 martin martin 528 Apr 11 09:50 .Lokal.directory and copied all the local mail folders into that. 5) I imported my filter rules back to this new setup, set inboxes for mail download to the right top level maildir directories and so on. Size of setup: martin@merkaba:~> find ~/.Mail | wc -l 431234 martin@merkaba:~> du -sh ~/.Mail 6,5G /home/martin/.Mail The KDEPIM-2 packages are from Debian developers, but they are not publically available in official Debian repositories.

It still appears with KDE SC 4.12.2 and Akonadi 1.11.0 that KMail does not respond timely to user actions like marking or moving mails. Especially if Akonadi is doing some background maintenance (see bug #331848), but it will just update it after some time, I did not have to restart KMail for this since a long time. Thus closing.
