           Summary: KMail 2 succeeds in migrating data, but old folders
                    are initially empty
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 2.0.95
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: deus_ex_machin at lavabit.com


Version:           2.0.95 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

The previous custom folder hierarchy from KMail 1 was preserved in the KMail 2
migration, but only the Inbox folder displayed its old content. The rest of the
folders were all empty. All old mail was still present in
~/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/. 

Running "Folder->Update folder and its subfolders" on all old folders
successfully synced things and the mail displayed correctly thereafter.

The migrator should do this automatically, or at least specify that the user
needs to update their folders to view their old mail.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
- Migrate from KMail 1 with many custom folders, each containing email.
- Confirm whether folders are empty after migration.
- Confirm whether "Folder->Update folder and its subfolders" syncs
successfully.


Expected Results:  
- Migration preserves folders, but they are empty
- After running "Folder->Update folder and its subfolders" mail is displayed.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-gentoo-r1
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
