Thanks, I've searched bugs.kde.org but didn't find one filed.

Thanks. The versions of the programs are:
    Kmail version:
        kmail --version
            Qt: 4.7.4
            KDE development platform: 4.7.3 (4.7.3)
            KMail: 4.7.3

    Akonadi version
        akonadictl --version
            Akonadi 1.6.2

    Nepomuk version
        nepomukcontroller --version
            Qt: 4.7.4
            KDE development platform: 4.7.3 (4.7.3)
            Controlador de Nepomuk: 1.0


I've reduced the problem to that one:

* Description of the problem:
    No mails are found in Kmail. 

* Introduction:
    The mails are stored in an ext4 directory that is "mounted" manually after 
the computer starts. 
    Possibly Akonadi doesn't find the mails when the computer is started and so 
the mails are not "cached" and so Kmail doesn't display them?

* Steps to reproduce the problem:
    - I start the PC.
    - I manually "mount" the ext4 directory that contains the "local-mail".
    - I start Kmail but no messages are seen in its folders (like "inbox"). 
    - I click with the secondary button of the mouse in the Kmail "Local 
folders" folder, and I choose "Refresh folder and subfolders", after a while 
of "updating" I can see the email messages.
    - I close Kmail, I execute
        pgrep kmail && kdialog --error "Kmail in memory" || akonadictl stop
    - I manually "unmount" the ext4 directory that contains the "local-mail".
    - I reboot the computer... and the problem still exists.

Have you got any possible way that can help me?
