           Summary: Email folders get corrupt on slow connections
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: emilsedgh at kde.org


Version:           Git (master) (using Devel)

Im using kmail with a slow connection.
Some times, when i want to view emails on a folder, it starts fetching data,
but, it gets stuck there. (due to slow connection)

>From then, that folder becomes corrupt. kmail forgets about all previous emails
on that folder and the folder icon stays as 'loading' forever.

Restarting kmail/akonadi doesnt help. Last time it happened I had to remove my
imap account and add a new one.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Use kmail for a month using a slow connection.

Actual Results:  
kmail forgets about previous emails on a folder.

Expected Results:  
It shouldnt forget any email.

I think I can describe what happens on the attached screenshot easier.

The 'Maintainance' and 'inbox' folders on my folders list has become corrupt.
This means:

1) They have the 'loading' icon forever. The moment i open kmail, they have
that loading icon.

2) They forgot all emails 'prior' their coruption. This means, my inbox was
working fine. But at some point, the issue came up. From that point, it only
shows emails from then.

(You can see that my inbox is supposed to have 3280 emails, but its only
showing one)

Im available on #kde-devel for any more info.
