--- Comment #5 from Hans-Peter Jansen <hpj at urpla.net> ---
I'm admin of a couple of kmail users, which ALL suffer from this problem on a
regular base.

Forcing the user to move the content of the local sent folder to the right IMAP
sent folders manually in order to reach a consistent state is more than a
nuisance. From my POV, this is a plain bug and I would like to raise the
Importance of this long standing issue accordingly. 

Sure, it might happen, that the IMAP server cannot be accessed, while the mail
was sent. Given the number of times this happens, this is most probably,
because akonadi is already active on this server.

kmail2/akonadi should always add a custom header, when it stores mails in local
sent folder temporarily. The header value should point to the correct
destination of this mail. Akonadi should retry to move the mail, until it's
done (or the mailbox vanished, than it's okay to remove the header, and give
up).
