Hello Larry,
please report your observations to upstream bug
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104956
I first thought these messages you describe may have to do with your local
filters and how KMail handles them with disconnected IMAP, but as I
thought it over I still didn't understand it fully.
Thing is that local filters just act locally. The changes they make are
synchronized with the IMAP account on the next data exchange. So sure
KMail deletes mail it filtered locally out of INBOX for example, but
since it filtered it out of INBOX locally already I do no see how it
comes about to delete them locally. And for the folders it filters mail
to it should just upload mails then.
It may be regular behavior being debugfully reported by KMail, but it may
also be that you are seeing an issue here. Maybe someone with more indept
knowledge on the synchronisation implementation can shed a light on this.
Regards,
