Hmm, the bug is marked reopened, but the last post was on 2004-09-16. I see some \
Bug-Ids (#82259/#83773/#37898) but they only give some workarounds but not real \
solution. 

I still have this bug in KDE 3.5.4 "release 78.1" SuSE RPMS, KMail 1.9.4. In my case \
it is the drafts folder. On the filesystem i found four files. Three of them are old \
and deleted in Kmail a long time ago. In the folder view of KMail there is only one \
(the correct) mail shown. In the kmailrc i verified, that "Compactable=true" is set \
for the draft folder. A manual "Compact Folder" doesn't help. 

After some "look-around" on our server, i found that _every_ mailbox of our users \
(currently 79) has orphants in different folders. Projecting this i came to the \
result, that this results in about 1,5GB of corpses.

The workarounds talked over in the other bug reports may be practical for advanced \
users. But i'm glad about users who are able of correct addressing a mail :-( And - \
of course - no one of the users know about there mail corpses! There is not warning \
about "Uiii - Kmail complains about the difference about 'shown mails' vs. 'orphant \
mails'. May be this would be a solution along with the option tho choose "Use shown \
mails and clear orphants" or "Use orphants and rebuild index". \
