--- Comment #8 from Stephen Hartke <hartke at gmail.com> ---
Here's something perhaps unusual about my setup that might be relevant:  I have
two accounts in KMail, one called "Incoming" and the other "Mail Folders". 
Both point to the same email account and the same IMAP account.  In the
Incoming account, only the INBOX is subscribed to.  The reason I have this
setup is that I have over 300 mail folders.  I couldn't figure out how to have
the INBOX polled for new email without all of the 300 other folders also being
polled (which takes a long time); the mail interval checking options are per
account.  On one of the forums, I saw a recommendation to use two accounts in
KMail.  So the "Incoming" account gets polled for new mail, whereas the "Mail
Folders" account only gets polled when clicking on a specific folder.

However, just the fact of copying from one account to the other can't be the
(only) problem, because I sent a message this morning where the Sent Mail
folder was set immediately to a folder of "Mail Folders".  The same problem
happened: KMail thought the mail was copied to the folder, but when I checked
on the web access, it had not been.  When KMail sync'ed the folder, it deleted
the local copy of the email.  Thankfully I now have a filter that backs up all
email, so I didn't lose the email, but I unfortunately was not running the IMAP
log at the time.
