When I delete the kmailrc file in /home/uwe/.kde/share/config, kmail comes up and I can configure it but I can't access my mails. There is enouph harddiskdrive space left

I use unison to synchronize my mail folders between my computers, and sometimes I have that problem. After a lot of investigations, I realize that it's a filesystem problem for me : for example, in the inbox/cur/ directory I see 7820 files, but the directory say it contain 7822 files, ie. I have ghost files. If I solve that problem of ghost files, kmail can startup again.
