Maildir's are real directories not single files. Single files are generally
in the mbox format. kmail automatically adds in index to the mbox files if
they don't exist. If they do exist and are wrong - that may be the cause of
the problem. The indexes are called .<folder name>.index (note the . at the
front - which generally makes them hidden - you need to do an ls -a on the
directory to see them.
