Thanks for the hint. I guess I found the duplicated collection. There's 
an akonadi_maildir_resource_0. Probably a left-over of the migration. I 
remember some log message about changing the special collection to my 
migrated old local folder tree.

Hmm, the remoteId of akonadi_maildir_resource_0 is
/home/ingo/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0
This folder doesn't even exist.

The openSUSE build of 4.11 comes with Akonadi 1.10.2.

4.10 with Akonadi 1.9.2 does not show the problem.

I'll upgrade again to 4.11/1.10.2 and report back.
