[Kde-pim] Possible data loss: one-byte sized files

Hi!

Sorry to come back to this, but I think its necessary. Due to previous bugs I 
had with data losses and one-byte sized files, I thought I make a sanity check 
with find -size 1c (search for one-byte sized files) and unfortunately it 
failed:

Please, pretty please have a look at this:

Bug 319226 - produces 1-byte-sized files on failed move attempts while filtering
https://bugs.kde.org/319226

(other related bugs linked from there)


This now is a pretty simple setup, made from scratch, on Ext4.

I am afraid, but I think Akonadi looses mail data.


I am covered as I keep 14 days of mails on the POP3 server. If I see it 
producing more one-byte sized files over time, I think I will go back to KDEPIM 
1 as of 4.4.11 once again. I switch this to a month for additional safetly for 
now. The server should be able to hold this amount of mail.

Please look at this, I think it is loosing data. A good check would be to 
check your maildir stores for one-byte sized files (especially when using 
POP3).

I also attached filter rules to the report. I have a kmail2rc secured, in case 
its relevant. And I am willing to co-operate with providing more informations. 
I really want to use KDEPIM-2 and KDE SC 4.10.2.

Thanks,
