--- Comment #125 from Allan Sandfeld <kde at carewolf.com> ---
Btw. I believe the underlying cause is the same that causes emails you are
currently reading to be marked unread again while you are reading it. A sync is
often started in parallel with other actions, so for instance you click on a
folder it starts syncing, and you are reading an email and it is marked read.
You mark it read, but the sync then marks it unread (race condition). 

The same can happen when moving emails, it might be moved, only to be recreated
by the parallel sync, and then moved again, causing two exact copies to exist
in the target folder.

The transactional atomicy of Akonadi is somewhat questionable with several jobs
that consists of multiple database transactions, or is combined with syncing
remote servers.

I tried looking at the move job, but it is pretty messy.
