If it's a code thing for the filters, what section of the kmail >source do i look in? I guess it is comming from index <-> folder conflict. You could try to compact your folders ("File->compact all folders"). Even better try to turn on Compact all folders on exit in File->settings, Misc tab. That way kmail will phisically delete all deleted mails and regenerate index from folders. Or you could try to simplify your filters... -- Sven Radej radej@kde.org KDE developer Visit http://www.kde.org
