You should never power down your computer without shutting it down properly. However you might consider using for example ReiserFS instead of ext2 this filesystem is claimed to handle this case better. Regards Michael Haeckel

If you press the reset button or pull the power plug of your computer no application can do any action anymore not even KMail. If this really causes any files to disappear then that is a problem with the file system. Usually fsck or whatever tool is used together with ReiserFS tries its best to repair eventually causes damages if you boot again. Regards Michael Häckel
