Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux Renaming a folder of disconnected IMAP while it is syncing may result in loss of email. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a big Inbox with subfolders 2. Have some folders in a subfolder 3. Rename this folder while syncing 4. Popup appears and tells me that the (old) folder not available or writable and ask whether I want to move the messages to another folder or not. 5. Select "Move to another folder". 6. Select the 'new' (renamed) folder as target. Actual Results: 7. When syncing has finished, the new/renamed folder is no longer in the tree view because it is not subscribed. 8. Serverside subscriptions -> subscribe to the renamed folder again 9. Folder is back in the tree view, but empty. Expected Results: 7. Folder should be in the tree view 8. Folder should be subscribed all the time 9. Messages should be in place.
(In reply to comment #0) > 2. Have some folders in a subfolder Of course that should read "Have some *mails* in a subfolder.
See also: bug 234160, this is what I describe in step 8.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
