            Bug ID: 389638
           Summary: When moving several maildir folders, some arrive
                    empty, losing all the mails.
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.6.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: commands and actions
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: quazgar at posteo.de
  Target Milestone: ---

I recently tried to migrate a large maildir structure from one machine to
another, by creating an archive first on one machine and then importing the
archive on the other.  The import, into a temporary "imported" folder, seemed
to have worked alright.

I then tried to move the imported folders to their new destination.  This
worked fine for the first two folders, so I got a bit carefree and
drag-n-dropped several folders to their new locations before the old moving
operation had finished.

A few hours later I checked back in and found that the process seemed to have
finished, but some of the subfolders (at their new locations) were completely
empty, the messages were gone, seemingly both from the database (not showing up
in KMail) and from the file system (the respective maildir folders were empty).

Not sure if this is related to bug #322697.

KMail: 5.6.3
