[kdepim-users] Repeated emails - Version 4.7.3 Using KDE Development Platform 4.7.3 (4.7.3) "release 10" (opensuse 11.4)

[Georgi Kourtev]

Somewhat similar issue:

While starting the PC and Kontact, I have a message that KMail folders are 
synchronised. usually it checks only the outbox and draft folders, rarely 
other folders, I don't know why.  It never finishes and often the Kmail is 
unoperational (i.e. when clicking on message I have message "retrieving 
mail").

Solution:

go to the maildir folder
delete the files in outbox new
restart akonadi.

If someone can explain how to solve this permanently would be great!
