Hi,

someone had the similar problem recently. It turned out he somehow ended up 
with a duplicated special collection (inbox, outbox, etc.) [0].

The solution is to open akonadiconsole and in the browser tab check for the 
duplicated collection and delete the duplicate.

Akonadi has versioning and release cycle independent of KDE SC (we are at 
1.10.2 ATM). Can you please check what is the real version of Akonadi which 
that causes this problems?

Cheers,
