I can confirm this bug, it is still present in KMail 1.5.93 (2003-11-03).
The problem is that KMail counts messages that are marked as deleted.

Here is how i can reproduce it:
1. I send 3 or more testmail to my imap-inbox.
2. I click on unread message 1, hold shift, then click unread message 3. This marks \
message 1 to 3, leaving the "unread" tag for message 2 since i never clicked it. 3. \
delete my 3 marked messages 4. change to a different folder than inbox
5. click on "look for email" button

The result: The folder pane shows 1 unread message for inbox. When i open the inbox \
no unread message is in there.

The reason: KMail did not really delete the three messages, but only marked them as \
deleted. This is a nice feature of the imap protocol and no error at all. But when \
KMail counts unread messages for a folder, it counts deleted messages, too. The one \
unread message disappears as soon as i compact my inbox. In addition if i configure \
KMail to expunge all deleted messages immediately, this bug does not occur.

Hope my explanation is helpful to someone who can fix this :-)

Bye,
Thomas
