Dear maintainers, 

(This bug is identical to Debian Bugnumber #449118)

I have sadly to report several heavy bugs in kmail. This is the list:

1. The folder "trash" can not be deleted. It seems, the mails are deleted,
but they are NOT. The size of the file ~/Mail/trash should be set to zero
with an empty trash, but it is NOT. The mails are staying in this folder.
Besides this, this is also a security problem, as mails will never be
securely deleted (and other persons might take a look at it)

2. The content of the "sent-mail" folder can not be deleted. The same
behavior as desribed above, with one exception: 

When trying to push the LAST(!) Mail into the trash, kmail crashes with segfault.

or

When trying to delete the LAST Mail directly, this is not possible. 
  
3. The content of folder "drafts" are no more shown, although it is still
existing in ~/Mail/drafts.

4. Please check: I suppose, the access-rights are not set correctly by
default ( I never changed them manually). ~/Mail/outbox, ~/Mail/sentmail 
and ~/Mail/trash got 0600, but ~/Mail/drafts got 0644.


Maybe this might help: I tried to manually set the filesize of "trash" to zero
(avoiding, some content might to inhibit the deleting), but I had no
success.

I manually changed the rights of those files to 0666, but again, no success.

At last I set all filesizes manually to zero (of course backing up the old
ones before), and tested with normal mails, to avoid, special contents of
some mails might cause the bugs. Again, I had no success.

Hint: These bugs seem to be in kmail already since a long time, as mails in
~/Mails/trash are pretty old. It was just random, I discoverd the bugs. 

Please feel free to ask for further information.

Best regards

Hans
