Bug#321102: please don't

No, please! Don't close the bug "just in case it has been fixed".
Upstream confirmed the bug, marked them as hard to reproduce and
*unlikely to fix* in the next time due issues with KDE's IMAP-IO slave.
I would not close this bug until the upstream bugreports have been
explicitly closed by upstream (Which is not the case right now).
I know it's tempting to close RC bugs in order to let a recent KDE-Pim
enter testing, but I would not like to expose other users unnecessarily
to a possible risk of data.
A better solution would be to increase the pressure on upstream to fix
this bug. I have the feeling, that closing this bug is not really No 1
on their priority list... (according to the time the bug has been open now)
Kind regards,
Bastian
