OK, I see this bug has been marked as fixed, and I am not as good at interpreting, if the bug I have experienced is the same, but here it is:

I am using Kmail 1.9.7 on Kubuntu Feisty (i386 version).

A few days ago I synched my dimap mail account after a long while of not doing it. There were a few hundred mail that needed to be filtered into different dimap folders. Kmail crashed in the middle of the operation.

After restarting it I found some of my dimap folders completely empty, and some 12 email messages in my inbox with headers "No Subject" and completely empty. 

I checked that the empty kmail folders were still with messages on server (though it seems, not all of those), but the "No Subject" messages in KMail's inbox were also empty in the server (checked with squirell mail). So I just deleted my Kmail Dimap account and recreated it using normal imap.

Then in a few days I saw some mail loss in another of my dimap accounts as well. Incidentally I had my birthday the day before, so I opened the folder and saw a "Happy birthday" mail message from my friend, which suddenly turned into "No Subject" mail message once I clicked on it :(  How do I know if I did not loose some important mail for my doctoral studies? I have a feeling that I do loose mail from time to time as kmail crashes (it does once in a while), but those cases leave no sign except for me being unable to find some old message from time to time, or seeing strange gaps in my mailing list folders.

Please DO something about this. I myself really like Kmail and still use it, but for my wife I configured thunderbird without a second thought.
