Hi Paula, if that happens I suggest to stop KMail, remove the KMail index files for \
the affected folder and start KMail again so that KMail rebuilds the index. If it \
happened in your inbox for example delete the following index files

martin shambala:~Mail> ls -la | grep inbox
drwx------   5 martin martin        36 2008-05-13 22:47 inbox
-rw-------   1 martin martin    539855 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index
-rw-r--r--   1 martin martin      4389 2008-05-13 22:47 .inbox.index.ids
-rw-r--r--   1 martin martin     54499 2008-05-13 10:21 .inbox.index.sorted

by using rm ~/Mail/.inbox.index* for example. Be careful not to delete the wrong file \
and better make a backup of ~/Mail before. No warranty whatsoever ;-).

Its not nice but thats my usual procedure when empty no subject mails appear or a \
mail turns out not to be deleteable. I read that recent KMail got a context menu \
entry for recreating the index file, but I am not sure whether it will make it to a \
KDE 3.5.10 if such a version is tagged at all. I had empty no subject mails in KMail \
from KDE 3.5.9 but they might have happened with an earlier version. I had non \
deleteable mail in my spam folder I think at least twice, but no time to make a \
bugreport back then. Didn't happen anymore since then.

I hope that on switching to akonadi all those still existing index related problems \
are gone for good.
