András, thank you. I am surprised as well, cause I did not read about any data
losses since quite some time on kdepim and kdepim-users mailing lists, but I do
not know how many users use POP3.

So you think that some detail in BTRFS behavior may cause this? I am pretty
confident that the BTRFS filesystem is okay despite that scrubbing issue I
mentioned elsewhere, but even then BTRFS may implement some filesystem
operation differently than other filesystems.

I do have a way to test on Ext4, but I do not like to move my /home filesystem
around. Symlinking the main maildir directory to an should work I think. Would
you also recommend to put the MySQL database and the Virtuoso database to an
Ext4 filesystem (I have about 25 GB left for one)? Would symlinking
~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk as well as ~/.local/share/akonadi to the Ext4
partition work there as well?

Is my setup as described above sane otherwise?

I won´t test it this week while in Berlin and will wait for a time where I have
some free time to deal with any issues, but I am willing to test it on Ext4.
Thanks, Martin
