Kmail data reset

Hi

I'm posting this on opensuse-supprt as well.

Is there a way to remove all data for kmail for a user?  I'm having all sorts 
of issues on one login.  I don't know if I have a configuration error somewhere 
or a broken install.

I'm using IMAP with postgresql as the backend (i've also tried mysql and the 
same things happen)

I have tried removing the akonadi folder and let everything rebuild and its 
fine for about 5 minutes.

1. Everytime the "Interval Checking" kicks off (every 5 mins) I get a lot of 
repeat emails delivered to the inbox.

2. Most of the repeated emails are duplicates and greyed out in the inbox and 
cannot be accessed in order to delete them.  Applying filters works on them 
though to move them from my IMAP folder to the Local Folders.

3. I deleted all the emails from my internet provider so its just using the 
local data store to produce these greyed out duplicate emails.

4. I have tried creating a new user and setting it up to acccess the same 
email account and this fails with exactly the same issue as new emails come 
in.

5. I have one other login (my personal one) and its not started to happen 
there as yet. I don't want to reinstall "Kmail/Kontact" in case it screws up 
this account too.  The only difference between the account is I use "Kontact" 
with the working one and just Kmail with the broken ones.


Does anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong?

regards

Ian
