I had the same behaviour, but I (think I) do know what caused it.

I'm using kmail 1.5.4. on KDE 3.1.4-4 RedHat. This week I used tightVNC to access my \
computer at work from home (normally I use a ssh tunnel) and left an instance of KDE \
running. The next day I was in the office and noticed that mail had gone missing. I \
think this was because I had two instances of kmail running. One in the background \
(the one for the tightVNC session), and one in the forground on the host itself. \
After I killed the tightVNC kmail client, everything went back to normal.

Mail should not be retreived by the client if it can't write to a locked inbox, or at \
least write to some other file so mail does not get lost.
