Are you sure it is a Maildir resource? There was a resource in earlier contact which was a mixed maildir resource, allowing mbox files within a maildir structure – pretty cool if you ask me, for archiving mails, yet, not as well supported as the plain maildir resource. > I have indexing / searching working now, but is was very spooky to get > there...

Well, on moving local folder basically Akonadi *copies* all mails into it into its cache and *then* in the destination folder. I proved this behavior in an upstream bug report with a local maildir resource: [Akonadi] [Bug 364114] New: moving a folder within one maildir resource is extremely slow and inefficient https://bugs.kde.org/364114 So I am not surprised that this may trigger indexing. However in my eyes while I somewhat tend to understand the technical design behind this from an user point of view this is completely broken behavior. As a user I´d expect: Move the local directory containing the folder, record the location in the database, done. > But than, folders started to reappear in "KMail Folders".

I didn´t see any data loss in Akonadi since a long time however, so while some things in Akonadi may work strange to very strange, I didn´t see it delete any mails it should not. > After moving the folders, the filter directories (I have ~120 filters) > automatically changed to the new "Local Folder" directory.

I think that automagically moving back is a bug there. Feel free to research upstream bugtracker. > I will have the same issue at home, on my second Sid installation.

You are welcome. And my hand quite well again :) Ciao, -- Martin
