           Summary: Moved folders disappear
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: thiago at kde.org


Version:           Git (master) (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When you move (by dragging) an IMAP folder to another parent, it immediately
shows as moved. However, sometimes, on the server it's not moved at all. It
simply disappears.

This is data loss. I lost over 54k emails today because of this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1) choose a folder
2) drag it to another parent

Actual Results:  
The folder disappeared, the contents along with it.

Expected Results:  
Folder is moved on the server and stays there.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64
Compiler: gcc

When I tried to reproduce the problem, I couldn't. The test folder with 2 was
moved properly.

It might be that the IMAP agent was busy in the background doing some
non-visible tasks when I moved. I did restart Akonadi a few times this
afternoon. The folder's disappearance happened after I restarted it -- I am
sure I could see it before one of the restarts, though I cannot verify that the
data was still on the server. I restarted Akonadi because it would not update
the folder list.

Please, please, PLEASE make *ALL* and every single activity show up in the UI.
NO activity, no matter how small, should be in the background. Bring them all
to the foreground with UI visibility so I know when it's ok to shut down.
