This is not something I can replicate. I have no clue how it happened. I have
had nothing but problems with akonadi. It is complete garbage all around.

This is DEFINITELY a bug report! Akonadi screwed up and wiped out my inbox and
deleted all emails in the inbox maildir. There is NOTHING else that would
delete files in just that one folder. Nothing else managed those maildir
folders but kmail/akonadi.

My contacts are all screwed up and other issues with akonadi I do not bother
reporting or looking into. Stuff that is not in the address book file. Nor that
shows in my contacts as I can correct or edit that stuff. So much garbage from
akonadi its not funny. Seems another Gentoo dev started Trojita, I will likely
see about contributing to that and moving on.

Every for every potential benefit of akonadi there is substantially more
issues. It is the WRONG direction to go and needs to be optional. Till it is
not longer experimental and does not mess up.

This may have been mysql corruption, since its using a HORRIBLE RDBMS, Should
be using Posgresql or Firebird. Which really only Firebird has a true embedded
option and mode. Not requiring a daemon. I had other issues early on with
sqlite and that was dropped entirely.

I cannot replicate. But ANY code in Akonadi to remove emails from disk should
be removed immediately. It did not move the emails to the trash or anything. It
literally wiped them from existence on my system. I have lots of filters,
folders, hundreds of thousands of emails. No issue in other folders.

However I have seen this indexing thing, were the emails seem to populate and
messed with scrollbar, as akonadi is clearly doing something with the database
and syncing emails on disk.

Only KDE bugs I have ever filed are all on kmail2...
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=CONFIRMED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=NEEDSINFO&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&email1=wlt&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&list_id=1425933&query_format=advanced

I really cannot emphasis enough the amount of issues since day 1. Across so
many versions, libraries, etc. It is garbage!!!! It is extremely unreliable. It
seems to be widely known but just about anyone. Not sure what it will take for
KDE devs to get the message and stop this madness...

If I leave KDE for another, it will be 100% due to kmail2. I wish I never left
evolution seriously! Kmail has been nothing but a headache. If migrating away
was trivial I would have already.
