            Bug ID: 331870
           Summary: kmail creates thousands of empty messages in the
                    maildir
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.12.1
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: arne_bab at web.de

I have a setup where two computers update the maildir asynchronously and merge
the changes via DVCS. For a few weeks now kmail (or akonadi) has been creating
thousands of empty messages per day and created error messages saying that some
emails could not be deleted.

The new messages are named something like
lists-and-forums/new/1393578315.R355.fluss

(fluss is my hostname, but not the hostname of the computer which actually
fetches the mails. the number after R has gone up to 997, but can also be 5.
Many of the messages only differ in the number after the R - and they are
empty)

I guess that it can happen that some mail gets moved by one computer from
<maildir>/new to <maildir>/cur while the other computer still sees it in
<maildir>/new, giving me a clash in <maildir>/new.

Reproducible: Always
