           Summary: conflict resolution box appears a lot
           Product: kmail
           Version: SVN trunk (KDE 4)
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: cousinmarc at gmail.com


Version:           SVN trunk (KDE 4) (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

I can't really find a test case for now, as it doesn't occur all the time, but
I get a lot of conflict resolution dialog boxes with kmail, at least when I try
to modify a few mails in one go.

For instance, marking 3 or 4 mails as read at the same time (select the 4 of
them, then right click and mark as read) triggers a bunch of conflict
resolution boxes. The first of them displaying messages showing 'left' with
nothing, and 'right' with 'SEEN'. Then a few of them displaying almost
identical contents for mails (that's very hard to verify, as left and right
columns in this conflict resolution box aren't of the same size, by the way).

This occurs on an IMAP account (dovecot server). I didn't try on other type of
accounts.

It occured also when removing duplicates from a box. The whole conflict
resolution went crazy (I had to kill kmail, after more than a hundred conflict
resolution messages).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Mark a few messages as read in one go, or remove duplicates seems to trigger
the bug (if there are duplicates, I guess).

Tested only on IMAP (disconnected or not doesn't seem to make a difference).

Actual Results:  
Get flooded with conflict resolution boxes.

Expected Results:  
Not get flooded with conflict resolution boxes, as there should be no conflict.

This bug makes using kmail almost impossible for now on my systems.
