Hey everybody!

I think I found another way to lose emails.

Open akonadiconsole to see what's happening.

1. Have a kmail resource with lots of folders and emails and a local folders 
resource
2. Remove the kmail folders resource from akonadi
3. add a maildir resource to akonadi and activate "open in read-only mode"
4. open kmail and refresh the new resource to show all emails in its folders
5. move a folder by drag+drop from the maildir resource to the local folders 
resource.
6. It is happily moved (wasn't the resource read-only?)
7. Take the same folder and move it back to the maildir resource
8. It is happily moved back – or not, if you watch akondiconsole you can see 
it, yet in the file system you cannot.
9. Wait a bit until the folder appears in kmail and refresh it
10. Wait a bit longer and it will disappear from akonadiconsole and kmail as 
well

A bit of an alternative:
5. Right click the maildir resource in kmail and "add folder" (was it not 
read-only?)
6. See that folder appear in akonadiconsole yet not the file system folder of 
the resource

kdepim 4.7.2++ and akonadi 1.6.2 from openSUSE stable repo.
