This is a bug I have been expieriencing for a long time.

I use IMAP and allow 2000 mails in my inbox. 

Occasionately when I polled new mail there are only those few new ones in the 
inbox and all the old ones seem to have vanished.

Even after a new sync!

If I delete those new ones the inbox is even empty.

It stays still empty after a further sync.

This really confused me the first times I had this.

Where is all my old mail?

The solution is very easy:

Leave the account and open it again.

All old mails are back again.

I have not been able to find out why and when this happens.

It just is occasionately without any reason. 

This clearly is a bug that should be fixed!

Betreff: [k-9-mail] K-9 Mail just got rid of several emails

Maybe you'll say this is a feature and not a bug. It's happened before 
under a fairly clear set of circumstances and I've now put in place a 
workaround - but a fix would be better. Anyway....

I have a POP3 account. I set its mailbox size in K-9 Mail to 100 messages. 
Unusually, an occasion arose when there were more than 100 messages to pick 
up. When I manually polled that account - I don't do push mail - it grabbed 
the first 100, and just deleted/overwrote the emails that were already in 
my Inbox. They're not in the Trash (which, by the way, regularly has more 
than 100 mails in it). Where did they go? Can I get them back?

If K-9 had added the feature that I've been *begging* for for years, that 
of at least one other folder as a temporary holding place, this problem 
would not have arisen.

Thanks for an otherwise great product which I've been using for many years.
