KMail doesn't disconnect without a reason, but because of a timeout which has 
been heavily increased already because of some slow freemail providers. The 
problem should be solved with that.

KMail deletes the mails it thinks to have already on the next mail check, 
because many people reported the problem, that KMail otherwise downloads them 
again.
For the case the download is interrupted due to a timeout, there seems to be 
an off by one error, at least there was a similar report some time ago. On 
the other hand, as far as I remember that report was also with gmx.net and 
the user recieved at least a part of the mail.
