Description Rolf Eike Beer 2008-12-25 15:20:14 UTC
Version:           r901347 trunk (using Devel)
Compiler:          g++ (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291] openSuSE 11.1 i586
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have Kontact from 3.5 running pretty well with two DIMAP accounts with some thousands of mails. When I start KMail from trunk both DIMAP accounts get simply deleted without any confirmation or anything. Not only the accounts get deleted from configuration but all locally stored mails get completely removed from disk, i.e. switching back to 3.5 without restoring the backup doesn't help at all.

Some of the console message I see when starting:

Probably related to bug 165320
Comment 2 Rolf Eike Beer 2009-02-24 22:25:54 UTC
The DIMAP accounts still do not get updated, but now at least also not deleted anymore. Switching back to 3.5.10 brings them back in old brightness.
