Version: 1.5.3 (using KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20 I was expecting an email from somebody I was chatting with on gaim. Never got it. Never got the resends I requested. Never got any other mail for that matter, either. Finally figured out my disk was full when I tried a file transfer in gaim, and it reported saving the file but didn't really, and finally I tried a df, and saw that my disk was full. So I cleared up some space, but apparently my mail that I recieved when my disk was full got deleted for me.
Do you use maildir or mbox, IMAP or POP3?
maildir, pop3.
then I doubt your message is lost. As soon as the message write fails, kmail ends before marking the POP3 message as deleted. Perhaps your index isn't uptodate, but the message should be either still on the server or in your maildir.
Can you confirm that indeed no mail was lost? If so, we should probably change the description of this bug to something like: "Downloading pop mail to a full disk silently fails without showing an appropriate error message". Otherwise it should be raised in severity.
