It seems likely that the problem happen when kmail finds itself trying to do 
two things at once.  Say, for instance that it is busily filtering your 200 
messages but it is time to check the server - I think that's one condition 
that can cause the crash.  I could be wrong, though.

Dealing with the problem as soon as you see it will make sure that you never 
lose more than one message.

The problem has been known for a very long time, but no-one can point to the 
exact cause, which makes fixing it impossible.  Hopefully, when we get the 
akonadi version with KDE 4.1 we will no longer have the problem.
