That is a problem of the mbox-format. You should convert your mailboxes to =
the=20
maildir-format (see the FAQ).

Subject: Kmail "forgets" messages that were deleted in abnormal exits.
From: vardamir@earthlink.net
X-KDE-Received: -67.213.169.81

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Redhat 7.3 (default kernel)

When an abnormal exit occurs in kmail (for any reason, be it Kmail crashing, KDE or Xwindows exiting abnormally, or a power off or system crash -- note that any of these are rare), messages that I had already deleted from the inbox to the trash are forgotten, and when I open kmail again, the messages are not in the trash, but still in the inbox.  This is not a major bug, but it does make me have to go through large amounts of mail again, as I usually live kmail running for very long periods.  Thanks, Brandon
