We only check if the index file is older than the corresponding mailbox 
file. In general the index file will always be slightly newer than the 
corresponding mailbox file. If you now restore a mailbox file from a 
backup without also restoring the corresponding index file then the 
index file will be newer than the restored mailbox file and therefore 
KMail doesn't think that there might be a problem.
Because of this you should always backup the mailbox files together with 
all corresponding .*.index* files.

Ingo
