[Kolab-devel] [issue4805] Duplicated event objects gets deleted instead of being rewritten

[Bernhard Reiter]

In case there are two or more kolab groupware objects in a specific folder
having the same uid, Kontact must should try to resolve the conflict
and then must write a new imap object.

This expectation is currently failed, if the event is exactely duplicated.

How to reproduce:
  a) create a fresh appointment in a folder. (it is easiest if the folder is
new) Then stop kontact.
  b) Use a dump imap client to duplicate the email in the same folder.
     (I've used mutt.)
  c) Optional: check that they are the same with diff on the server.
     Diff gives no output for the two files, e.g. named 6. and 7.
  d) start kontact again, sync. Switch to calender. Sync again.
Observation: One of the duplicates got deleted, e.g. only 6. is there.
Verified on the server.

Expected behaviour: Even if kontact knows that both events are the same
  and thus does not need to bring up a interactive conflict resolution dialog,
  it still must follow good practive and write a new event and then delete the
  old ones.

Rationale: If another client for whatever reason deletes 6. at the same time,
  the appointment would be gone.
