------- This bug just hit me, too.

My / (with /tmp) and /home are separate partitions. /home ran out of space and KMail \
quit with a message like "KMail crashed because disk is full" (well something \
similar). I immediately started KMail again (before freeing some space on /home) and \
it started happening - clicking on *some* emails or applying filters erased the \
messages (no author, no title, no content).

I guess KMail should either refuse to start when any partition it writes to is full \
or (better) start in read-only mode (no mail fetching, filtering, moving/copying \
etc), possibly switching back to read-write mode when it detects that some space has \
been freed.

If this is just a corrupt index problem then KMail should either inform user what to \
do or do it automatically.

I'm using KDE 3.5.6, KMail 1.9.6.
