You are welcome, but I am saddened to read that the problem (duplicate emails when using POP3) is *still* not resolved. I don't know what is causing it, but suspect that it is something to do with the UIDL command causing some hash malfunction on the Kmail2 POP3 client. I am guessing (wildly and with no evidence) that akonadi's (re)indexing is not managing the message ID reliably, potentially barfing on the message hash, recreating a duplicate. Either way, applications like this give MSOutlook with its reliably self-corrupting .pst files a good name. I would thing that this is a relatively straight forward transaction to troubleshoot, but devs may not be using POP3 on Kmail2, or if the glacial progress of KDEPIM is anything to go by, then I seriously suspect they are NOT really using ... Kmail2! :-p -- Regards, Mick
