This just happened again. Upon restarting my system and logging in I started
kmail. It didn't appear right away. Remembering what happened before, I ran
strace:


[***kibab at kibab ~***]$ ps aux | grep [k]mail
kibab    19634  3.5  0.4 475692 37216 ?        D    14:05   0:02 /usr/bin/kmail
-caption KMail
[***kibab at kibab ~***]$ strace -o strace.log -f -ff -s1024 -p 19634
Process 19634 attached - interrupt to quit
^CProcess 19634 detached

The strace log shows that it was indeed deleting all my files. Here's a small
excerpt:

I'll attach the full log, which I probably should have let run longer to help
in debugging.

When kmail finally came up I was greeted with 47 dialogs like
kmail_permissions_error.png (attached).  The error message read:

The UID cache file for folder 2046725245/[Gmail]/Trash could not be written.
There could be a problem with file system permissions.

Once I closed down all the error dialogs, I was once again greeted with the new
accounts dialog (kmail_new_accounts.png, attached).

As last time, this resulted in both of my dimap accounts being completely
deleted. My account settings were also deleted although my POP-based e-mail was
still present.
