I think I may have found a cause for this -- there is a file called "kmailrc" that contains, among 
other things, a count that kmail -believes- to be the current count of total and unread messages, 
but for "some reason" [crash?] it is inaccurate.  In my case, I have more messages in the folder 
than the kmailrc file lists, which causes wierd things to happen in the folder tree [incorrect 
"unread" counts] 
 
Is there a way to easily resync the kmailrc file, or is a manual correction in order? 
 
To avoid this problem in the future, perhaps the "compact" operation should re-evaluate the 
folder counts to ensure these values are correct [as well as expire, or maybe even a general "idle" 
thread that detects when you aren't really doing anything with the system...]  Certainly closing 
the program should verify and re-write the kmailrc file to ensure accuracy...
