            Bug ID: 322697
           Summary: Copying (or moving) a large number of emails results
                    in empty maildir files
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.5
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: commands and actions
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

I am attempting to move a large number (c 27000) of emails into folders.

The emails are from a backup and have been restored to a single folder.

When I copy them from the backup folder, approximately 80% end up zero length
and examining the maildir folder shows them to be 1 byte long.

This may also explain why I am having to do a restore, as I originally had a
large number of emails that appeared correctly in the akonadi database, but
were not actually in the maildir and appeared empty when I tried to look at the
contents.

I am unable to restore old emails into kmail and will have to use another
client until this is fixed.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Import a large number of emails from a backup of a maildir folder
2.  Attempt to copy emails to existing inbox or folder structure

Actual Results:  
Kmail reports the copy is successful but examining the kmail directory shows
many files of 1B - once the folder is refreshed these show up as Subject:(No
Subject) Sender:Unknown

Expected Results:  
All emails copied with the content intact.
