This may not be your problem, but I had a similar issue when I upgraded from 
Mandrake 9.2 to Mandrake 10. It seems that Kmail < 1.6.x was incorrectly 
naming some of the mail files (i.e. not correctly in maildir format), but 
seemed to pick up and read those incorrectly named files fine. 1.6.x must've 
fixed the bug, because even though it indexed them okay, when I clicked on 
the mail, it was blank with no subject and no sender with unknown date.

I wrote a few scripts to rename all the misnamed files, and to set the 
permissions on them correctly (some were executeable for some reason, and 
kmail didn't like this). And then all was well. Weird bug though.
