            Bug ID: 299061
          Severity: critical
           Version: 4.7
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: All sub folders in "Kmail folders" deleted after
                    creating a new folder in "Kmail folders".
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: R.Clark.01 at cantab.net
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: folders
           Product: kmail2

I wanted to move some mail from my IMAP account into a "Kmail folders"
sub-folder that I had just created. "Kmail folders" contains *all* my local
email that I've had archived for ages.

After I had right clicked on "Kmail folders" and clicked "add folder" then
typed in the filename there was a long pause and after the pause all my "Kmail
folders" that had been imported from Kmail 1 were deleted!!! The only folders
that remained in "Kmail folders" were those that I had created since migrating
my old email from kmail 1 to kmail 2.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
I can't reproduce this easily without reimporting kmail 1 folders using the
official kmail2 migration wizard. I don't want to break my email any more - it
is important for me to get the old emails back!
Actual Results:  
A new folder was created as expected in "Kmail folders" however all the ones
that had been imported from kmail 1 using the kmail 2 migration tool had been
deleted.

Expected Results:  
A new folder should have been created and none of the other folders should have
been deleted.

Please can you help me recover my email to the state it was in a few hours ago.

Is there a recovery tool?

Thanks.
