After moving an email from my inbox to another folder, the email reappears in my inbox ( it remains available in the other folder too ).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive an email
2. move it from inbox to another folder
3. go to the other folder, to verify that the email has been moved to the other folder
4. go back to the inbox
5. the moved email appears again in the inbox

This behavior is the same for messages moved manually as well as filtered emails

The moved email should not re-appear in the inbox, as it has been moved to another folder. I'm using pop email.

I recently updated from openSUSE_13.1 where emails moving and filtering worked just great ( as expected ). The kmail migration did not work though, I had to manually migrate the emails from the old setup to the new setup.

Currently running kmail-4.14.10.

At the same computer doing the same thing for another user it works well ( as expected).

Output of:
# akonadictl fsck
# akonadictl vacuum
Nothing

Any hints, suggestions how to rid of the unwanted behavior?

I can't reproduce this on my KF5 based kmail (from Applications 15.12). Are these local messages or IMAP messages?

Consider it solved. It was a wrong configuration after migrating from kmail without akonadi to kmail with akonadi. It's too much to explain the things I did, but most important to take away, is that it can get solved by removing the emailserver settings (account information) and start over again. At this moment I'm happily using kmail, but it took a lot of effort to get it right.

Hi

I would appreciate if you could explain the steps, I am having a similar problem after a fresh install of Fedora KDE with KMail and importing mail from Evolution 3.x. Whenever I move a message from the inbox to any folder it disappears from the inbox for a few seconds then reappears. The message does not appear in the destination folder.

This is driving me crazy right now.

I can't further elaborate on the way I solved it. It's too long time ago and I don't know the exact steps. I think it is like this:
- Start from the beginning
- Have a copy at hand of all your emails ( email directory )
- Create a new email setup ( without old folders and emails )
- See that it works for you -> that it retrieves your email from the server
- Create the folders that you had
- Configure the filters that had
- Connect one by one the old folders that you had, and copy and paste the emails from the old folder to the new folder
