           Summary: registrations folder keeps disappearing
           Product: kontact
           Version: 1.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: roland at logikalsolutions.com


Version:           1.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.10.4", openSUSE
11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.23-0.1-default

I have one email folder in my list called "registrations" where I store emails
containing things like product keys and download links for products I purchase
on-line.  I have need to add emails 3-5 times per year.  Twice now Kmail has
physically lost this folder and required me to extract it from a backup and
re-import it.  (Thankfully I store in mbox format.)

No other folder in the list disappears.  It doesn't just disappear from the
list, everything about it is gone.  I don't, ordinarily, have any cause to
delete a folder, so this isn't "user error".

It appears there is an "undocumented feature" which now has "registrations" as
some kind of reserved word when it comes to folder names.

I don't know how to reproduce this bug.  I leave my system up for weeks on end
only rebooting after updates, or severe system crashes.  Since I reduced the
memory to 6Gig, I haven't had any system crashes, and the folder disappearances
have happened without system crashes.

If this is a "reserved folder name" I would expect the folder creation/rename
capability to block its initial usage.
