This has affected me for quite a while.  I will try to upgrade the the version 
in Debian Sid over the weekend.  I'd really like the fix to get into the 
Buster release.

Debian calls that version "4:18.08.1-1", which I'm guessing the the version 
number of the KDE release, rather than KMail in particular.  I tried to find 
the KMail version using [this list](https://www.kde.org/info/
applications-18.08.1.php), but it just said 18.08.1. :(

I guess once I have it installed I can just read it from the introduction 
page.

I tried doing that.  I went into the "Folder Properties..." for the Trash 
folder and changed the "Retrieval" options to "Synchronize where selecting 
this folder" and "Automatically synchronize after: [Never]".

I'm still getting a hang and the last status message is "Syncing folder: 
'Trash'".

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help. :/

I'm fairly sure it's not actually a problem fetching anything from the IMAP 
server, but rather some mildly related bookkeeping that is causing the FK 
violation, and the sync process "crashes" without telling aKonadi/KMail that 
it completed. :/
