I've got a similar situation. The copying of only email headers has happened to
me before, usually when I copied emails for which KMail/Akonadi had only
downloaded the headers. It doesn't download the email bodies before
re-uploading them.

Now I've got another: somehow it failed to copy anything at all. It tells me
the emails have been uploaded, but they have not.

In fact, this was a move, not a copy. It was supposed to do UID COPY, but that
somehow failed with no visible error indication. So Akonadi thinks the emails
are in the destination folders, but they aren't. After the "copy" was complete,
it proceeded to delete the original emails. Now the server has no copy of the
emails.

Major data loss (if I hadn't backed up when I realised something was amiss).
