I agree that the bug is hard to reproduce (especially, when reproducing
means data loss) but at least one KMail-developer observed the problem
twice:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104956#c36
Although he assumes (hopes) this bug is not present anymore in the
current version I want to point out that I observed this bug again last
month with the kmail version from sid.
I strongly assume that the bug is closely related to "rebuild index
file" (don't know the correct English menu entry -- rightclick on a
folder -> dimap problem -> rebuild index file).
Since this bug seems only to occur with dIMAP- but not with
IMAP-accounts, one way to get a recent version of KMail into etch would
be to disable dIMAP completely.
Kind regards
Bastian
