Hi, I am using Kmail 1.8.2 (Using KDE 3.5.3-4.1.fc3.kde). As you see I am using Fedora Core 3. Generally I am happy with Kmail but every once in a while it eats my mail. It happens only in my inbox. Unfortunately, yesterday it ate about 1700 pieces of mail. I'll survive, but I don't really want this to happen. The way it happens is always the same - I go to my inbox and highlight a header line in the top right pane. It renders in the lower right pane and then after several seconds (5 or so, say, I haven't timed it accurately) the headers change to read "unknown" for sender, date and subject and the size becomes some very small number, typically 38 bytes. An attempt to view the message source shows nothing at all. I have numerous filters to slot incoming mail into subfolders. As far as I can see these messages have no problem at all. I am considering upgrading to Fedora Core 5 but don't know if that is likely to help. For the moment I'd rather have Kmail behave properly. I don't like Evolution and would rather not have to switch, but this can't go on. I've posted a screenshot at: http://hp.bccna.bc.ca/~aa056/KmailScreenshot.png for those who want a closer look. You can see that the folder is NOT inbox - this is because I immediately moved all inbox mail to the temporary folder you see here. Suggestions?

In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. -Bertrand Russell in Education and the Social Order
