When trying to move messages to trash, akonadi blows up and the message becomes inaccessible in KMail (although the message itself is still intact).

Expected Results: KMail / Akonadi moves message to trash PS I'm reporting here since it's Gentoo. I will report it at KDE bugzilla site as well. kmail-20.12.3 and akonadi-20.12.3 were installed in my system just a few weeks ago, and this is the first time I have tried to move a bunch of stuff to trash since that update.
Can you share emerge —-info and the link upstream once you report it? Thanks!
I've done some more poking around. The messages that I can't access are asociated with "dirty" items reported by akonadictl fsck. Here's some terminal output. david@localhost ~ $ akonadictl fsck 2>&1|grep ^Found Found 13 external files. Found 13 external parts. Found no unreferenced external files. Found 0 parts to be moved to external files Found 0 parts to be moved to database Found 5 collections without RID. Found 0 items without RID. Found 3001 dirty items. I've posted inquiries in the KDE forum and in some chat rooms. I'll report back here if I get a response. I did do some spot checking, and the "dirty" items are definitely causing the problem. Every message that can't be accessed is on the list of "dirty" items. For about a year, akonadictl routinely reported 0 dirty items. Then, a couple of weeks ago, there were 3,003 of them. I have no idea how or why that happened. I think I can probably fix it by backing up all my emails and clearing all the data files out of .local/share/local-mail, then loading all the data back in there. But that would be a lot of work. I'm hopeful there's an easier way to clean the dirt out of Akonadi.
I'm responding to Sam James. I have reported this bug upstream. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436550 I have also devised a work around, which is explained in detail at the kde site. The real software bug is in the Akonadi server somewhere. Somehow a bunch of internal database pointers got corrupted a couple of weeks ago, causing the problem reported here. Sorry ... I don't remember exactly when, and I have no idea why.But I'm a happy camper now.

I doubt we can do more than upstream here.
I fixed this problem by backing up all my email data, deleting all the messages in ~/.local/share/local-mail, and running KMail once so Akonadi would remove all its relational database pointers. Then I restored the data to ~/.../local-mail and ran KMail again. I had to open every folder in my tree to force Akonadi to rebuild all its db pointers. After that it began to work correctly once again. I did lose some of my configuration data (spam filter needed adjustment, some of my other filters had to be re-created, etc.), but it was fairly simple to fix that stuff, too. According to the KDE Help manuals I should have used "PIM Data Exporter" to do the backup and restore. But I have never had much luck with that application -- it just doesn't work. So I used Dolphin to copy the entire "local-mail" folder to an alternate location, and copied it back the same way.
