           Summary: KMail selects wrong previous message after deleting a
                    message
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: radtken aztecfreenet org


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

The following occurs when using IMAP.

Say there are 4 messages, m1 through m4;  KMail is displaying the messages \
sorted by order of arrival, where m1 arrived first and m4 arrived last.  \
Thus, the messages are ordered as follows:

m1
m2
m3
m4

To reproduce the bug, first select m3.  Message m3 is highlighted (denoted \
by "<-" below) and displayed:

m1
m2
m3 <-
m4

Now delete m3.  KMail highlights and displays m4.

m1
m2
m4 <-

Now press the left arrow key to select m2 (or click on m2).  KMail \
incorrectly updates the display, removing m2 from the list of selectable \
messages and leaving m4 selected and displayed.

m1
m4 <-

Pressing the left arrow again to move to the previous message results in \
the following:

m1 <-
m4

Essentially, m2 was skipped and has now completely disappeared from the \
selectable messages.  Using a web interface to the same email account, I am \
able to verify that m1 and m4 exist and are marked as read, m3 is marked as \
deleted, and m2 is marked as unread (assuming it was an unread message to \
begin with).  The list of messages in KMail remains incorrect until a \
rescan of the directory is done.

This bug makes it essentially impossible to read and delete messages with \
KMail.
