           Summary: 3-4 instances of Local Folders, but just one agent
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Maildir Resource
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alvanx at gmail.com


Version:           4.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Refer to this thread for all the details:

In a nutshell, I have 4 nonidentical instances of Local Folders in Kmail now,
they share the same core of emails, but only one of them has all my mail and it
also is the only one that retained my tags. It is also the one that new
messages get sorted into. 
However, one of the 4 (yesterday 3) instances has black text, the others, red.
The "real" one has red text. I also notice that I cannot read older emails
(i.e. from before the "split") from the "right" Local Folders, only newer ones.
If I want to read any of those messages, I need to go to the instance in black.

It seems like that Akonadi is forcing me to run 2 local folders agents.
Whenever I delete one, it goes down to 3 instances, but a new agent will be
created soon, which takes me back to 4x Local Folders madness. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I have a postgresql backend. I updated to KDE 4.8, starting a new nepomuk
database (I think). That's all I did. 

Actual Results:  
See above. 

Expected Results:  
A normal inbox. 

A screenshot can be found in the forum thread linked at the top of the page.
The supporter there asked me to file this bug and said the problem might have
to do with this line from .xsession-errors (full excerpt at the thread): 

"Cannot connect to agent instance with identifier
'akonadi_maildir_resource_14', error message: 'Could not get owner of name
'org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Resource.akonadi_maildir_resource_14': no such name'"

I have twice now removed a duplicate Local Folders agent, but a new one keeps
coming up after a while. It seems like that is part of the problem. It seems to
be impossible to remove an agent unless all the config files are there (cf. my
first post in above linked thread). (On a side note, it also seems like my
contact agents are going rampant. I shoudl't have more than 3, yet there's
about 8 listed below.)

Compare my agentsrc and akonadiserverrc:
