--- Comment #2 from tprotopopescu at gmail.com ---
After some investigation it appears that the problem is not quite as bad as it
first appears. It seems kmail is not deleting the email but moving them, in my
case to a folder that holds email from a high traffic email list. It took a
while to notice since I don't check that folder often, and since the emails
moved had already been read the 'unread' count for the list folder did not
change. (I did in fact lose some emails since that folder has an expiry date,
and some of the messages moved were older).

Switching folders is not the trigger. Just switching emails in the same folder
is enough for the move to start. Sometimes only about 10 emails are moved. But
after switching from message to message, and having 10 or so messages moved,
the process finally just moved every message in the folder.

Another thing I have noticed is that automatic filtering no longer works.
Messages that should be moved to other folders whenever I check mail are not
moved, but stay in the inbox. Applying filters manually moves messages.

I tried killing the `akonadi-mailfilter-agent' process while messages were
being moved, and that did not stop the move.

Since data is not being deleting, but email do not stay where they should, it
seems a severity of 'major' is now more appropriate.
