I have a Gmail account with many thousands of emails but total size in just
under 1GB. I also have a local dovecot mail server in my office which I store
mail on. I just upgraded the local dovecot imap server and decided to delete
all my old mail on it. Then I setup kmail2 (4.7.00) to access my gmail imap and
my local dovecot imap. I created some folders on my local imap and then copied
emails from my gmail imap account to the new folders I just created on my local
dovecot imap server. Each folder had less than one hundred messages and it
seemed to copy within a couple minutes... I do have a slow internet service.
After a few minutes it seemed all was good. No status bar ever showed any
progress. I left for several hours and came back and shut of my laptop. Today,
I turned it on and opened kmail2 and all the messages I copied from my gmail
account are completely gone. They are not in my gmail account and not in kmail.
I cannot find them anywhere! Sadly, I should have known better and backed them
up, but I thought copying them would be safe. I am trying to backup my messages
now using thunderbird to a third imap account on a different server. Then I
will wipe my user account and start completely over with kde 4.7.0 and kmail2
and try again.
