           Summary: Kmail loses mail when it freezes after I'd moved some to
                    an other folder (DIMAP). DATA LOSS.
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.0
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: szotsaki gmail com


Version:           1.10.0 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 26.8", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_Factory)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae

When I use Kmail I receive mails only in my "Inbox" folder, nowhere else.
After reading I move them to different folders.
But Kmail freezes a lot of times, and here's what happens:

- Kmail deletes the message from Inbox folder immediately after I had made a move
- Kmail crashes (probably under synch.)
- After the restart the messages ARE NOT in the appropriate folder (because Kmail crashed) but they aren't in the inbox folder either
- Plus: after this the program uploads the whole affected folder to the mail server (which means in some times 50-60MB upload!), sometimes duplicating the existing mails on the server (and only there, in the program I don't see the duplicates). The folder counter is decreasing meanwhile but after finished, it downloads only a fragment of the all letters (eg. from 400 only 20).

This is a very annoying and _dangerous data loss_ which happens to me every 5-6th day, so very-very often.
