--- Comment #4 from piedro <piedro.kulman at googlemail.com> ---
I also start seriously fearing that kmail becomes destructive and I start
loosing mail again (like it it happened before two years ago). At the moment
(though as I stated before I completely deleted and reconfigured the akonadi
agent "local folders" the problems seem to multiply: 

- now another folder "testing2" which I created within kmail created and shows
up under ".local-mail.directory" - this is the only folder showing up here and
to my surprise there are no mails in this folder though there are in the folder
"testing2" in kmail (no furthter hidden folders to be found on the harddrive
location ...) 

- the trash folder isn't found anymore by my mail accounts. why? Now
reconfiguring is easy though annoying for 10+ email accounts - in the dialog to
choose the trash folder every standard local folder shows up twice! (double
checked akonadi console: only ONE "local folders" agent seems to be present ...
??? 

- after reassigning a trash folder (one of the two) i can delete trash again
and it shows up in my trash folder ... but now when trying to move mail from
the trah fodler to another folder I get the "no valid collection" found error
... after a while this error just went away but neither the trash folder nor
the trash mails show up anywhere on my harddrive - which is really unaccptable
as Fred pointed out before ... 

- also the settings dialog for identity now states that no valid "templates"
folder can be found. Funny thing is: this seems to be the same dropdown list
for choosing the correct folder like the one when choosing a trash folder ...
BUT here I don't get double entries for loacl folders .... 

to summarize: it's completely messed up and I don't know how to access my
archived email (in a local folders backup) again, reimporting, again, seems no
valid option as the results are unpredictable ... just throwing them in the
correct folers to let akonadi agents reindex them can't be done because the
respective folders aren't found anywhere .... 

the disappointing part is, that I was just hoping kmail finally was getting
there and I started to use it - now I shouldn't have .... just like Fred I have
many archived mails (20 000+) for reference with longterm projects I am
involved with and I need to access them ... 

So plz can someone comment on whats going on, will this be fixed, has the
maildir format really changed as Fred suspected (read above) is there a
workaound ? 

thx, 
piedro
