            Bug ID: 315941
           Summary: various changes change folder "numbers" breaking
                    filter rules
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at dhardy.name

It appears to me that filter rules of the type "move to folder" use some
"number" to identify the destination folder, and that these identifiers are
liable to change.

Symptom: several times some action (migrating data to a different computer,
upgrading, restoring data from backup) results in all "move to folder" rules
either having the wrong target folder or no target folder.

Proposed solution: store the folder path instead of what I assume is some
numeric ID in the rule configuration.

(Is my assumption that a simple numeric enumeration is used correct? It does
not seem a robust solution.)

Reproducible: Sometimes
