            Bug ID: 299937
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.2
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Deleting saved search folder breaks searching
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: bugs at wormhole.me.uk
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

I delete a virtual folder (saved search) within the Search folder. (I want to
do this mainly to clear the unread count, also the subject of bugs 295971 and
274936.) I do this by secondary-clicking in the virtual folder and clicking on
"Delete Folder" (though sometimes the entry is labelled "Delete Search", which
is clearly what's intended to appear always). A popup message says "Are you
sure you want to delete the search Last Search? Any messages it shows will
still be available in their original folder." I might have named the search
something other than the default "Last Search", but the result is the same.

When I delete the virtual folder, the enclosing folder called Search (with the
binoculars icon) is also deleted. I've only repeated this with a single folder
within Search; maybe it's different if there are multiple saved searched.

After this has happened, if I do another search with "Body of Message contains"
I get a popup message saying "Cannot get search result. Unknown error. (Unable
to create persistent search)". Searching with "Subject contains" doesn't give
the error.

If I stop and start Kontact again, the Search folder is recreated, and search
generally works again.
