I lost my mails in inbox again while I removed some subscriptions. My IMAP-Server changed from courier to dovecot, so it doesn't seem to be a serverproblem. Thx to dovecot and lazyexpunge my mails are safe from being deleted from kmail. I must admit that there should be at least a warning using dimap that u could lose your emails!

Yesterday this bug occured twice when I first ran kmail on the computer of my girlfriend. The emails in her inbox also got removed after changing subscription.

Common guys it isn't funny for a user to lose mails. Now it's possible for me to restore the mails, but think about other users which don't have any experience and access to the server. Kmail doesn't simply delete the mails it expunges them.

This is a severe bug in my opinion and it lasts long enough. I will try to reproduce it again.
