           Summary: KMail loses filters
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: filtering
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jmaldrich at yahoo.com


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

I have been having problems with my filters not implementing correctly and have
been having to close KMail when it hangs while trying to process messages. I
believe I have discovered the cause of the problem that is causing KMail to
hang, but in the process, I discovered that closing KMail while it is working
on filtering causes most, if not all of the filters to disappear. Fortunately
for me I have gotten in the habit of backing up my filters. Please fix it so
that the filters are not lost if KMail closes while filters are in-use.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Create several filters, start to filter email and then close KMail while in the
process of filtering.

Actual Results:  
About 80-90% of the time, the majority if not all the filters will be gone and
you have to re-import them when you restart KMail.

Expected Results:  
Filters should NOT disappear and should be there when you reopen KMail

I've learned that having multiple email clients open at the same time,
accessing the same set of folders is not a good idea. That appears to be what
was causing the filters to apparently not apply properly.
