Using Kmail's view source option, I compared the two copies of a duplicate 
email (using ediff in a text editor). They were completely identical .

I also had a look in the folder containing the emails (maildir). "Greping" 
with a string that appears in a duplicate email, I had only one match.

This would means that the email is not duplicated in the maildir folder, but 
only in Kmail's display (also in akonadi db?).

I run a akonadictl fsck and restarted Kmail, but it did not change anything.

I am only using pop


How could I check if there is a duplication in akonadi db or if it is a purely 
Kmail issue? (Does this makes sense?)
Should I report a bug?

Thank you.
