Description etkopa 2003-04-16 23:39:28 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

When I marked a particularly big mail folder (maildir) and applied filters - kmail crashed reporting something about disk being full. The disk _was_ full. Some mails in the folder got wiped out - either they had no subject, or were full of garbage. I have seen disk full problems in kmail before and would humby suggest some serious solution like the one in kget. In most cases kmail silently corrupts the folders without reporting a problem or giving the user the ability to retry after disc cleanup.

The kmail I use is form kde 3.1.1a copiled from SRPM package found on www.kde.org.

The mail folders are most likely not corrupted. But the index files seem 
to be corrupted. Exit KMail, delete the index files of the affected 
folders (.Folder.index* for a folder with name "Folder") and then 
restart KMail.

Still I think kmail should report something, and allow the user to perform a disk 
cleanup.

out of disk failures are really sub optimal, but they do not crash

If nobody disagrees, I will mark this as a duplicate of bug 50462.

50462 seems to be the same bug. Go ahead.
