(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           cvs 21 august 2001 (using KDE 2.9.0 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot)
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.2.1
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I sit here now two hours of wasted time.

Here's what kmail did:  It spontaneously recovered old mail about two months worth (back to about July 15).  All the old mail that was deleted or moved to other folders reappeared in the inbox.

I can always grep though the Mail directory and find old mail. 

The precipitator in this case (mentioned in previous bug report) was running out of hard drive space.  This is the first time for this.

All the other times it recovers mail is after a crash.

But as I mentioned the mail is always there kmail just doesn't "see" it.

So I think "delete" in kmail should mean "delete."
