There is no way akonadi could have destroyed your local mail. If the problem was with address book, then it would be another story. > Critical: data loss: if pop3 account emails are on local disc instead of > the server, those messages are lost. I suspect you had file system problems and kmail configs got eaten in the process ( ~/.kde/share/config/kmail* ). There might even be some leftovers with odd names ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc*.new etc. Try recovering from them. The mail should still be there in ~/Mail or somewhere in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ Unless you give more proof that it's really a problem with kmail, the next step will be severity downgrade of this bug. testing->testing and sid->sid upgrades are not 100% supported anyway though I'm pretty sure upgrade had nothing to do with it. However, if you upgrade with kmail/KDE running, sometimes odd things happen. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>
