How about a feature to show the exact path to the mail file within KMail? 
It can be hidden in a context menu or so.

But I think it can help a lot to compare what KMail sees and whats there 
in the file.

After an X.org crash I just had it again – with KDEPIM 4.4.11 still so I 
won´t report in bug tracker – that about emails where of unknown date 
until I clicked on them.

Maybe a menu point of "Eigenschaften" I think its attributed or properties 
in english like it is available for the mail folders? There under 
Maintenance it is possible to see the directory the mails are in and it is 
possible to rebuild the index – I bet this may have changed in KMail 2.

Something like that for a mail and shows the location of the mail file and 
gives the possibility to rescan it.
