We could blame the 4.7.4 version for this, but just in case - did you restart kmail and does the config file still read markup=false? -- Regards, Mick

I have restarted the whole machine and I now find markup=true again. Solution: stop kmail, move the entire message tree and kmailrc, start kmail, import all messages from the old tree, import all filters from kmailrc. Only took a few minutes and I think I how have a clean system. I'm sure you'll let me know if I'm still polluting the atmosphere with HTML. :-) -- Rgds Peter

You might have a clean system but fifty quid says you have a clean system with a whole lot less mail than you used to have Yes, kmail-4.* eats mail. I talk from experience. Feel free to ignore me if you think I'm over the top. I now have this compulsion to bad mouth kdepim at every possible opportunity till the devs fix it properly after losing a month of my life to having to fiddle with kmail eternally plus losing three years of mail history -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

My gentoo-user mail still numbers 15160 and dates back to a year ago. I don't notice any missing directories either, and all of them contain plausible numbers of e-mails.

This version still seems reliable to me, now that I've reset it to a working state. It is a bloody joke and I can't believe that the KDE devs let it loose on [an] unsuspecting population like this. I mean, people depend on KDEPIM to manage their affairs and businesses. Quite agree. It's a travesty of software development, not explained even by Alan's analysis. These people should be given a dose of the Real World (tm). It's not as if it [were] some poxy eye candy feature. Arrrgh! What are these guys trying to do?
