           Summary: kmail shows wrong number of mails left on pop3 server
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.5
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: mail puchalla-online de


Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I am leaving all my mails on the POP3 server now, so KMail only downloads the new ones and reports how many mails are still on the server. But the number is wrong! My webclient and the telnet session to the server tell there are 637 Mails. But KMail says there are 6824. 
Maybe this is because I use to delete SPAM on the server automatically by Thunderbird at work. But still, the telnet session counts the messages by "LIST" up to 637, and this number should be reported by KMail. I do not know how KMail calculates the number, but it is definitely wrong. Just use the output of "LIST" for this, it is simple and accurate.
