This thread describes exactly what occurred here starting several weeks 
ago. I stopped the duplicates by going into the imap account, and 
enabling the option that deletes from the server, any message I delete 
locally.

So the duplicates per imap scan stopped, but I still have 3 folders that 
show as having unreads in the folder list, but which do not have any 
unreads when when actually looking at that folder.

For that I was given instructs to stop kmail and use akonadi-console to 
delete a file, but akonadi-console cannot find the filename to delete. It  
may, or may not exist as I believe the instructions given were 
incomplete.

In any event several reboots and kmail restarts later, the problem still 
exists.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
