           Summary: KMail migration results in empty folders
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: karl at huftis.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have just updated to openSUSE 12.1, and the migration of all my old KMail
e-mail failed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Here’s what I did:

1. Started KMail.
2. Got a dialogue asking me if I wanted to migrate. Answered yes.
3. *Immediately* got an error message saying that migration had failed, and
that I should run ‘kmail-migrator --interactive’ manually.
4. Running the command told me that I had already run the migration.
5. A Web search told me I could delete som migration config files to get
kmail-migrator to run.
6. Ran ‘kmail-migrator --interactive’, which took quite some time, but finally
finished with no error message.
7. Started KMail.

Actual Results:  
The result is that all my old local folders are shown, and in a proper folder
hierarchy, but everyone of them is *completely empty*. I have tried
right-clicking on the folders and choosing ‘Update Folder’, but this doesn’t
have any effect. For all practical purposes, all my e-mail are gone.

(BTW, my IMAP account is also shown in KMail, and seems to be working fine.)

I do have a backup of my ~ folder, which I can use to experiment with, if
that’s any help.

Expected Results:  
All folders and e-mail successfully imported, with the old read/unread status
kept.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.0-1.2-desktop
