Screenshot of a small section of the list of unnamed identities created

I did a Kubuntu distribution upgrade over December from v14.4 to 17.4 - after the regular upgrade Akonadi would not start.  When I solved that I found it no loger pointed to my emails before the upgrade.  I then did a completely clean install on a new hard disk.  After first testing Kmail and creating my three email identities I used, I then imported my last kmail archive.  The import went well as far as recovery of my email history is concerned.
However, it created a duplicate set of my newly created identities (it did not import the old) and a number of entirely new "unnamed" identities with nothing in them (I can't remember the exact number, bur they where about five or six.
I deleted the duplicate identities and the multiple unnamed identities.
Soon after when I tried to select an identity from the list there were 44 new "unnamed" identities.  I deleted them one-by-one (there is no other way).
After some time and another Kmail restart they were all back and then some.  There are now too many to delete one-by-one and still they keep on multiplicating
