I have had the same problem for some time now and lost a few messages \
myself. I'm not able to read those messages in any other email client like \
mutt either.
I do have read and write permissions on everything in my "Mail/" directory \
and this bug occurs _while_ running KMail. In my case it has nothing to do \
with permissions as I do not change them while running KMail, I'm pretty \
sure no other program changes those permissions and I don't see why KMail \
should.
As far as I can tell this bug occurs in the following situation:
1) I move around a large bunch of messages from one folder to another.
2) This is where it occured to me last time:
I change the structure of the KMail's "Local Folders", i.e. I create a \
folder, move messages from another folder to the newly created one and \
delete the old one.
I'm not having any problems with KMail when I just read a few messages and \
delete them afterwards. This problem seems to occur only when moving around \
messages is involved.
But there is something interesting about those messages that turn blank: \
they are not just all the same. Information about those blank emails seems \
to be preserved:
icons in front of each message showing if that email was encrypted, if I \
wrote an answer to that email, if it had an attachment, etc. remain even \
after that message has turned blank.
Some have suggested that it might be a problem with the filesystem. I \
presonally cannot confirm this as I'm running KMail on an ext2 and ext3 and \
fsck does not complain about such a thing.
A lot of my friends have run into this problem lately and I'm surprised to \
see that this bug is still unconfirmed. Please, try the two steps above \
with a large bunch of emails and I hope some developer will finally be able \
to confirm this behaviour and eventually fix it. \
