Hi folks, I am fighting with some issues with kmail and akonadi, maybe someone knows the trick.
The problem: I am using kmail now for many years. As kmail needs a message folder with inbox, outbox, trash, drafts and sent-mail folders within, these are in my "KMail-Folder", which is a mixedmaildir folder pointing to the directory where my mails reside. This is ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/. But sadly I had an akonadi crash, which I had to fix. Now the state is this, that I got my KMail-Folder back (with inbox, outbox, trash and so on), but it appeared another folder named "Local Folder", which also got trash, inbox, outbox, sent-mail and so on within. I know, these are automatically created by kmail, and it appears I cannot delete these. As I could point most settings to the folders below my old "Kmail-Folders", I could not get kmail remove the outbox-folder, trash and drafts folder away from "Local folders". I tried this from the docs: https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/pim/kmail2/local-folders-is-added-over-and-over.html[1] but it did not help. Also all the hints in the forums did not help, sorry. I also tried to delete ~/.local/share/akonadi and ~/.config/akonadi, and start from the bginning, but this won't let get me access to my mails again. Luckily I did not delete the above directories, just moved them away, so I could return back. What isa also not quite clear for me: What is the difference between Kmail-Folders and Local-Folders? I tried to point Local-Folders to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/, hoped, that this would read and indicate my mails again. No success! The documentation related to akonadi is not so well, IMO, so I have much difficulties to understand, how things work. If there would be a way, to run kmail without akonadi (but Isuppose, this is not possible), I would appreciate it. Generally I was running into slight problems with akonadi from time to time, but this could always be solved. However, this one is big, and I would be appreciated, if someone could enlighten me, how to fix this problems. Thank you very much for any help.
