            Bug ID: 386640
           Summary: KMail2 5.6.2 swaps 'from' fields if you move two
                    emails to a folder
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.6.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: tomz at libertymail.net
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm running KMail inside of Kontact on ArchLinux (which is known to not patch).
The version is 5.6.2
Akonadi is, according to pacman, at version;
extra/akonadi 17.08.2-1

I have two emails in my inbox, both part of the same thread. I end up replying
to the first of the two and then move the two to my folder that holds the
mailinglist they are associated with.

5 minutes later I look in the folder that holds my conversation and I get
really confused, the actual email content is still the same, but now the author
and timestamp etc of the two emails are swapped.

Specifically, the folder-listing has author and other metadata swapped when
compared to the actual content of the email. The threading is still correct,
based on the content of the email.

It also lost the 'replied to' flag while moving.

As this is a destructive bug (data-mangling), I'm changing the severity to
grave.

ps. I have never seen this bug before maybe a week ago. Making this a
regression.
