This bug is most definitely confirmed on my machine. Last year, it affected my desktop and erased my whole inbox from my old gmail account which made me never use kmail on my desktop again. Since my laptop never gave me trouble, I continued to use it there.

Today, however, it nearly happened again.I say nearly because all of my messges disappeared from my inbox in kmail, but fortunately not in gmail. This happened after trying to sync and then getting an error about not being able to get permissions for the inbox folder. I reflexively pressed "Continue", the default option, and say all the inbox folder cleared. When I attempted to sync once again, to restore my messages, I notice that the progress bar indicated it was deleting all "removed" messages from the folder on the server. I stopped it in time and only lost my 5 oldest messages.

The first time, on my desktop, I did not see the dialog box about the permission error. That was on Kubuntu 7.10. Today's incident occurred on a laptop running Kubuntu 8.04
