            Bug ID: 298768
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Import of Sent-Mail loses many messages
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: maurice at bcs.org.uk
          Hardware: Mageia RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: message list
           Product: kmail2

When Importing emails from Mandriva 2010.2, no problem with Inbox (6,019
emails), but a bizarre result with Sent-Mail:

There were 4,859 emails to import from Sent-Mail, but only 1,027 made
it!
  During the import the number of emails done started to fluctuate
around 1006 - backwards and forwards - before finishing at 1027 (i.e.
over 3,000 emails missing (also 55 duplicates found).

Tried it twice. Same result. 

(So deleted the Sent-mail KMail-Import folder, and tried:

rsync -avx
/mdv2010.2-home/user/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/sent-mail/cur/
/home/user/.local/share/local-mail/sent-mail/cur

That worked quickly and perfectly - no emails missing - and KMail
handles the folder as normal.)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File--> Import messages--> Import Kmail maildir and subfolders into
Sent-Mail
2. Specify source as Sent-Mail folder im MAndriva 2010.2
3. 
Actual Results:  
Import begins, but goes awry after just over 1,000 email files, and finishes by
failing to import over 3,000 files.

Expected Results:  
All Sent-Mail email files should be Imported (as it did for Inbox).
