Duplicate Inbox with dimap and Domino server

[David Goodenough]

I have recently started using KMail (I have tried an old 3.5.10 version and
the latest 4.3.2 on Debian unstable) to access mail on a Lotus Domino
server.  

The mailbox is enormous, and using normal IMAP was impossible as it kept
trying to repopulate the entire folder on every fetch.  So I tried
disconnected IMAP which in most respects works much better.

The only problem I have is that the Inbox appears twice.  And it thinks that
both of them are inboxes, not folders.  As there is large quantities of spam
coming though on this mailbox, deleting them all twice is a waste of time.

When I first tried this I found some references to this being a known problem,
but now when I google I can not find anything that looks relevant (I am
probably asking the wrong question).  Does anyone know if this is a known
problem (if so what is the bug number), and what progress is being made to
fix it.

If it would help, I can provide remote access to a Domino server to fix the
problem is a KMail developer would find that useful.

Regards

David

Please file a bug report for this at bugs.kde.org (or via Help->Report
Bug...).

As workaround you might want to use Local Subscription (look in the
context menu of one of the folders) to unsubscribe the duplicate inbox.
Then KMail will completely ignore the duplicate inbox.

I looked in the Local Subscription dialog, but the only inbox is shows is my
main inbox, it does not show any inboxes for the DIMAP setup.  This is on
the 3.5.10 kmail, is it different on 4.3.2?

Did you look into the context menu of your DIMAP account or of one of
the DIMAP folders?

I don't think there's a difference between KDE 3.5 and KDE 4.3 with
respect to local subscription. FWIW, I'm also using KDE 3.5.
