saw some possibly interesting other effects. I was going over the last couple of \
mails in kde-commits (an online IMAP folder) when the new mail check kicked in. The \
listview flashed due to a repaint ans changed all red-coloured (new) mails to blue \
(unread). This is rather annoying in and of itself if it's the folder I'm actively \
working at, since the repaint collapsed read threads as well. Whether related or not \
to the real problem I don't know though. Anyway, the next that happened was that I \
was about to go to the next mail and select it with shift-right arrow, and this key \
had no effect anymore. None of the navigation keys worked, KMail really thought the \
folder was empty. However, the GUI still showed the mails and a scrollbar. Using the \
scroll wheel from the mouse triggered the painting oddity that we talked about \
before, now I got the white listview entries. Switching to another folder and back \
restored KMail to normal. Looks like KMail can 'forget' about all mails in the \
currently visible folder, but (fortunately) in a non-persistant, non-data corrupting \
way. And along the way it doesn't even update the listview. Hope this helps.
For now, X-mas time. Merry Christmas to everyone on this list too!
