[Kroupware] Fwd: [Bug 57826] New: All folders are deleted on IMAP server

Hi guys,

this is a pretty serious bug. It's not uncommon that people use 
different versions of KMail on different machines.

Regards,
Ingo

IMAP server Cyrus 2.0.16

When looking at kmail (kroupware-rc2) for IMAP sieve support, I built
 KMail from CVS, but keep the orginal KMail from 3.1.1 around, just in
 case.

Everything seemed OK, although it did seem to take a long time syncing
 the folders.

I closed kmail this morning, but opened the old version this morning. 
 I was minus my IMAP connection, I quickly realised that to was the
 wrong version.  So closed down the old version and open the new
 version.  After being prompted for the password, I noticed a kio style
 progress dialog appear, informing me that it was deleting files.  Not
 thinking it was doing anything on the IMAP server, it was only the
 second time I open it, I let it go on. It then reported that it could
 not delete the INBOX on the mail server, then crashed.  Re-opened the
 new kmail and found that IMAP account had been removed.  Recreated the
 account and discovered that they where no folders in my INBOX.

I logged in to the cyrus server and found that indeed my account was
 wiped clean, except for a folder that contained sub-folders, the email
 messages in there where intact.

I've tried it a couple of times and it seems to happen everytime I open
 the old kmail, I'll created a test account to see if I can provide any
 more information, although I understand that it's not recommend to run
 two different version of kmail.  However, these consequences are a
 little strong. _______________________________________________
