            Bug ID: 357064
           Summary: Mail not accessible after migration
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.13
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Maildir Resource
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: richard.bos at xs4all.nl

Mail not accessible after migration.  The migration was done after updating
from openSUSE_13.1
to openSUSE_leap

kmail created a new resource called "Local Folders", but the old previous
folders "Kmail folders" were not migrated to the new Local Folders.  Very
frustrating.

After many attempts, using various ways, fortunately having backup arounds, I
started kmail, from the command line.  Kmail finished the migration, spitting
the following line 10 times per second and never stopping:
   Resource id's don't match: "akonadi_maildir_resource_1"
"akonadi_maildir_resource_0"

Looking for this results in this bug report:
   https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255104
(Thus that report is still not solved)!  The bugreport points to:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=215&t=120777#p308518
Which has the solution.  At the bottom at states:

For me it was sufficient to remove the local trash folder:
rm -rf .local/share/local-mail/trash/

Have this fixed please, because it takes a whole day to work out the problem,
it is frustrating as it looks like old email is no longer accessible, etc.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  See above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Email is no longer accessible!  very bad.

Expected Results:  
Nice smooth migration, and emails always accessible
