Thanks for the advice, but did that and kmail still behaves very strangely. 
Now I can see the mail headers, but no body is available. If I do a search the 
results are found, but still kmail refuses to show the body.

And also after a time the number of total mails will be decreased from the 
original 3000+ to something btw. 1000 and 2000. And at the moment I have 1504 
unread mail in my inbox, but clicking on "Mark all read" doesn't affect the 
unread value.

Is kmail storing this info elsewhere than under the ~/.kde4/share/kmail/imap ?

Best
Dag
