Same thing happening to me with kmail 3.3 on Debian. This is particularly bad because I, and I assume many people do as well, leave my PIM open all of the time and it's very inconvenient to have to restart it at least once a day (I don't get as frequently as the bug reporter). I should add that I don't remember having this problem with 3.2.

This sounds like the background expiry is kicking in and removing large amounts of messages. Can you guys confirm that?
