Hi! Sandro kindly backported an important fix about the mutiple merge candidates issue from Akonadi 19.08 to 18.08¹ ². It does not fix the actual issue from happening, but it allows Akonadi to resolve the issue without user interaction³.
The fix is currently available in Debian Sid. So if you have this issue from time to time and can use Debian Sid, please make sure you update. A fix for Debian Buster definitely seems possible now that Sandro backported the fix, however I do not know Sandro's plans there. It may very well be that the Akonadi packages from Debian Sid could just be installed in Buster, but I did not try this. In case it would break you would get to keep the pieces as usual :). On any account only try this if you are experienced enough with APT pinning and APT in general and have a backup. Thank you, Sandro!
