--- Comment #53 from andreas.sturmlech...@gmail.com --- I've been wrestling with akonadi during the past months (15.12.0 - 16.04.1) using `akonadictl fsck` and `akonadictl restart` whenever I clearly knew there really was new mail on the (gmail) server while kmail kept silent - which could happen several times a day. Today, by chance I've met an old friend again, "Multiple merge candidates, aborting", so maybe it had been that problem all the time. Above SQL query though revealed _a lot_ of duplicates, so maybe it is the result of all the times akonadi goes on a 'several thousand new mails in random subfolder' frenzy (also can happen a couple o' times a day). Either way, I wouldn't delete them one by one, so I came up with another SQL statement: DELETE FROM pimitemtable WHERE pimitemtable.id in ( SELECT id FROM pimitemtable LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT MIN(pimitemtable.id) as RowId, pimitemtable.remoteId, pimitemtable.collectionId FROM pimitemtable GROUP by pimitemtable.remoteId, pimitemtable.collectionId ) as KeepRows ON pimitemtable.id = KeepRows.RowId WHERE KeepRows.RowId IS NULL ) Beware, this might kill n kittens if you ran it on your system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
