It used to be like that for me too, but not for a long time now. I get duplicate messages, which are a known problem and easily worked around, but the latest version of KMail whinges about more than one candidate for display and just gives up. Then I have to stop KMail, start akonadiconsole and use it to delete the akonadi cache of the affected folder, restart akonadi and (when the debug messages quieten down) restart KMail and click on the same folder. Then it rebuilds the threads and stores them neatly away in MySQL. This happens several times a day, sometimes even more than once in the same folder. I don't know why I should be affected more than anyone else, but I do seem to be. It reminds me of Dale and his struggles a few years ago with ... what was it again, Dale? -- Regards, Peter.

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up fetchmail to feed postfix
As an everyday user of KMail, I am completely happy with using it. I don't see any flaws with it. Maybe it's just me or...? Is there a reason behind the hostile glare towards KMail?

That only happens if you enable the setting to open a progress window when checking for mails. I use background checking here because that would annoy me as much as it did you! -- Neil Bothwick The trouble with the world is that everybody in it is three drinks behind. pgppD5kGa5HpZ.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I switched from Claws to KMail in part because I hated that checking for emails would block the GUI. Not being able to type because Claws decided to check for emails in the background again became more and more infuriating over time... (Also, I find that Claws feels... out of place under Plasma.) That said, I like both, for different reasons (other than the apparent global lock, Claws *is* blazingly fast).
