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. \
