--- Comment #3 from m.eik michalke <m at reaktanz.de> ---
i just wanted to open a new bug ticket when i found this old one i opened
almost two years ago.

so here we are again, but the other way around: i can see all my local mail in
kmail (version 16.04.3), but ~/.local/share/local-mail itself is almost empty.
when i create a new folder in kmail, it is also being created on disk in that
folder. if i copy mails in kmail, they are written to that folder as single
files. but if i move mails (not copying), kmail shows then in their new
location, but nothing appears in the file system.

kmail says the local mail resource holds ~6GB of mails. i can browse the
folders in kmail and open mails without problems. however, only a tiny fraction
of those mails can be found in ~/.local/share/local-mail which is only ~200MB
of size. where does kmail store my mails on disk? the have to be somewhere,
right?

the symptoms are somehow similar to what i wrote two years ago, as today, kmail
suddenly "forgot" all folder settings for one of my IMAP accounts, including
all mail filter destination folders. and this happened on two different
machines with the same IMAP account, while on both other IMAP accounts were not
affected.
