Description Nancy Anthracite 2011-01-23 01:42:41 UTC 
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

in June there were report of email being composed not being displayed when kmail opened after closing or crashing, but I was able to find the emails in progress in .kde/share/apps/kmail/autosave  

Now I can't find them anywhere and when I loose a big email that I just spent a lot of time composing, it really hurts!

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Just start writing an email and then close kontact.  If you don't save it as a draft, it will be gone

Actual Results:  
nothing saved and I can't find it in autosave either or in tmp or in /var/tmp

Expected Results:  
email will be there waiting for you to finish it

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem
Compiler: cc

I found the problem.  I created a new user and compared the autosave directory and found that somehow the cur directory had been deleted  It was undoubtedly my fault.  I put in a new cur directory and all is well.  Sorry for all of the trouble I caused!
