Ok, I admit I was a bit sceptic when I read your suggestion - but hey, you =

just made my day! THANK YOU!

Upon inspecting the Local Folders with akonadiconsole, there were two folde=
rs =

marked as trashcan visible: "trash" and "wastebin" - I am pretty certain th=
at =

only one of them was visible in KMail. I then stopped Kontact and removed =

"trash". Upon the next start of Kontact, everything went back to normal aga=
in.

Coming to think about it, I have an idea how this came to pass: As I'm =

migrating from an old set-up, I had all local mails in $HOME/Mail. That =

included a folder called "trash". One of the first configurations I made in =

KMail was to point "Local Folders" to that directory rather than the defaul=
t.
When I added the Kolab-accounts, they've set their trash folder to "Local =

Folders/wastebin" as per default (that seems to be a change between e35 and =

this version - it used to be "Local Folders/trash" - or is that a localisat=
ion =

issue? I'm preferring British English over American...). So, somehow, that =

mixed things up.

Question: Are you aware of there already being a suitable bug report tracki=
ng =

this issue or would you like me to create one? KMail of course should not f=
ail =

in that way just because there happen to be two such folders...

Thanks again,

Thomas
