didn´t you reply to this?

After receiving mails today Akonadi / MySQL / Virtuoso used up between 2 and 
4 locical cores of this Intel Sandybridge i5 mobile CPU. Since I wanted to 
reply to you, I thought I restart it and see whether that gets it into a 
sane state. Then it complained it wasn´t able to delete some mails and well: 
Now I do not see your mail anymore.

Okay, it seems that restarting the Akonadi server while it is doing 
something leads to data loss. I forced a re-index of the folder and it still 
doesn´t appear:

Okay, reporting this as a bug as well, after having reported:

[Akonadi] [Bug 318224] New: Tries to insert existing entries into database
https://bugs.kde.org/318224


On behalf of the subject: KMail now reacts to changes in folders.

Okay, there we go from the message pasted from list archive:

Okay. Thanks. Then I read on there.

I found it quite irritating at first.

Okay. Thanks. I think I read something like this on kdepim mailing list.

But now I report the data loss bug. In hindsight I understand that 
restarting akonadi to get it responsive again wasn´t such a good idea, but 
it shall IMHO never lead to data loss. Wherever Akonadi stops it should pick 
up after restart.

I may be able to get the mails back, if I find out how to recent the POP3 
last mail counter to something before. They should still be on the server.

Thanks,
