It was on the server, cause I told Akonadi POP3 resource to keep mails on
server for 7 days. That was what made it possible to step back to a clean
state with KMail 1.
Unfortunately for the latest occurence I missed to save out ~/.xsession-
errors. I wasn´t aware that its recreated on each KDE login and after I
logged in it was gone.
Anyway, if I let a POP3 resource download mails into a folder of a maildir
resource I created, I´d expect to keep that mail once it has downloaded it.
That would even hold true to disconnected IMAP, I think. Only process to be
delete, add mails to it would be the IMAP resource.
And in case of POP3 the only one deleting mails would be me *or* filter
rules. Maybe it was something to do with mail filters.
I am thinking about for to make a safe environment for trying to reproduce
this. I think creating a second account, subscribe it to some mailing list
and install a separate KDEPIM 4.10 install to use that would be a way to go.
Since I didn´t read about data loss in kdepim or kdepim-users mailinglist I
though such steps wouldn´t be necessary.
Anyway, I got all mails back, and know a safe and quick way to switch back
to KDEPIM-1 now. Thats good.
I am a bit disappointment not to be able to use KDE SC 4.10 or only part of
it, since some of it conflicts with KDEPIM 1, but well, my mails are safe and
thats more important.
