            Bug ID: 315942
           Summary: frozen, phoney/corrupt IMAP account
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at dhardy.name

I have several IMAP accounts configured, one named "EPFL". After restoring
files from backup, I now have an extra account listed in the folder view, named
"EPFL (Offline)" (in addition to the working "EPFL" account, which can be
removed and recreated in the Akonadi configuration without affecting this "EPFL
(Offline)" item).

This "EPFL (Offline)" item behaves rather oddly: mostly it appears the same as
the real EPFL account, but (a) none of the mails appearing there change or can
be change (they are all old emails), (b) the mails under "inbox" show header
information only and cannot be opened (presumably due to offline status), and
(c) two emails are listed under the "EPFL (Offline)" folder directly (not in
inbox or some sub folder), one of which can be opened and one not. None of the
emails appearing under this account can be deleted; the whole thing appears to
be frozen (with the exception that editing the one message which can be opened
and discarding the edited version creates a duplicate).

This only showed up recently (just before upgrade, was same on KDE 4.9.x). The
two messages mentioned in (c) above showed up in the same wierd way in the past
at some point.

Sorry for this rather confusing report. It's not a problem for me, but if I was
developing Akonadi or kmail (I'm not) I'd want to investigate such wierd
symptoms, hence the report.

Reproducible: Didn't try
