Deleting a folder via the context menu doesn't work as expected; see repro steps. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Right-click on a mail folder you wish to delete. Select "Delete Folder". If, like me, you are trying to delete a remote folder, this will take an age, so carry on with your life whilst you await the delete confirmation. Select some other folder which you wish to work on in the meantime (and indeed NOT delete). When the confirmation dialog appears, you will be asked about deleting the newly selected folder, NOT the one you wished originally to delete! For full repro, blithely ignore the confirmation dialog, and irrevocably delete all of your important emails. Actual Results: KMail deletes 3 years of my emails. Expected Results: KMail does NOT delete 3 years of my emails.
Will look at soon.
Cool, thanks. Actually, I'm less stressed now as I've managed to recover my lost emails through some Exchange quirk :-) This incident has certainly taught me a lesson about reading confirmation dialogs more thoroughly!
