Hmm. NOO - we should not have to check the originating servers for 
emails. I am only using pop3 and I SHOULD be able to confidently tell 
KMail to not leave mail on server and STILL know it does not go missing.

Version 4.8.3 that I use now is the first one where I experience mail 
loss. Ever so often I get incoming mail in duplicates - if I then don't 
"get" what is going on but delete one of them then BOTH are gone next 
time I open KMail.

Remembering the many statements from devs on "we do not want mail loss" 
before release of Kmail2 I do not know what has happened here as this to 
me is regression - badly.

My setup is not unusual so can not be hard to test before release. Only 
pop accounts, not even SSL and not huge amounts of traffic.

Plus filters misbehave, distribution lists are not working and address 
book autocompletion misery. Frankly 4.8.x release are a step back from 4.7.4
