If you all continue on with adonadi, aside from not deleting emails on disk
during any sync or other operation. You should STOP using mysql, and use a
reliable database which has MUCH better support for embedded usage,
Firebird....

I am not sure if this data loss comes from mysql or akonadi, or something
between then. I know akonadi deleted the emails on disk as kmail has no access.
Nor does mysql.

Furthermore if using a db backend, emails should be stored in the database.
That way there is NO chance of losing sync with emails in database and on disk
if they are all in the database to begin with. Trying to use a db for indexing
and meta data leaving emails on disk is just asking for problems. Much of which
I have experienced first hand and will continue to exist as long as these
horrible methods are used.

Don't use a db backend for on disk stuff. If you are going to index that, move
all data into the database. If none of that, then at least never have akonadi
delete emails. If it has syncing issues, it should rebuild from what is on
disk. NEVER deleting what is on disk....
