</div></div>No user-space application can corrupt a filesystem (unless there's a bug<br>
in the filesystem code). So if even 'ls' doesn't work properly for you<br>
then you do indeed seem to have serious problems. But those problems<br>
cannot be caused by KMail (unless you run it as root). It's much more<br>
likely an nfs problem.<br>

on why kmail triggers this problem quite reliably? I've never had this
problem appear when moving files around in a shell or using konqueror.
Is kmail's file access method fundamentally different? Some special
requirements regarding synchronization or something? <br>
