           Summary: kmail2 doesn't copy emails during import process
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rossi.f at inwind.it


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

I have started from scratch a kmail configuration where I have two accounts:
- Local folders pointing to the default ~/.local/share/local-mail
- POP3 account (the destination folder is inbox inside "Local folders")

I imported an old kmail maildir archive with all my old emails following the
import procedure. All the old emails are now visible in the folder KMail-Import
under "Local folders" while all new emails downloaded from the POP3 server are
visible into the inbox folder.

The problem is that old emails have not been copied into the local folder
hierarchy (~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory) by the import procedure, I can
see only the new emails download from the POP3 account. I guess the data is
only stored in the backup folder where I imported from but the akonadi caching
mechanism shows the emails as if they were in the local folder but this is not
the case!

This is a weird problem because the user could delete the old data folder
thinking everything is safely stored in the new location. What happens if the
akonadi database gets corrupted?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Import some maildir data

Actual Results:  
the emails are imported but the data is not copied into the Local Folders 

Expected Results:  
the emails should be copied into the Local Folders hierarchy
