           Summary: sent, drafts, templates and trash folders configs
                    scrambled surreptitiously
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: config dialog
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tibirna at kde.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Given the incredible instability of KMail2 with akonadi, I can't even begin to
guess what triggered the behavior described below. But it is critical and a
huge showstopper

I have a kmail2 new configuration (created anew on empty  .kde config dir) with
4 imap servers and a local folder. For all the imap servers I configured the
trash folder location upon account config creation. I also created a number of
identities (roughly associated one to one with the imap configs) and I
configured sent, draft and template folders for each identity.

All of a sudden, after 2 days of use of kmail2, after having to restart akonadi
in order to unstuck a non-displaying message from one of the imap servers, I
discovered that all my folder configs were utterly scrambled. Not deleted, but
scrambled. That meant that my sent mail from one identity was saved in a
randomly chosen folder from another imap server than the one associated with
the identity.

This is a huge showstopper, and a huge security hole (surreptitiously saving
private emails on the inappropriate imap server is a big no).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I don't even dare to think this will happen again on my current config.

I'm not sure what triggers the behavior. I guess it is akonadi that becomes
utterly confused about the way it identifies items/folders and saves the wrong
state to the config database.


Expected Results:  
Folder configurations (especially for sent and trash) should be preserved
religiously.
