I have a lot more ~ 9000.

What is Speakeasy? I found on Google "Speakeasy, a Best Buy Company, offers 
superior Voice over IP (VoIP), T1, DSL and a range of broadband services 
customized for small businesses.", but I don't know if you are refering to 
that. And I don't know if that is at all relevant.

KMail has two types of IMAP. You have the regular IMAP that should just 
download the headers and then download the messages as and if you read them. 
The other type is the so called "cached imap". That is a variation where it 
does download the messages but keeps them in sync with the server (ie if you 
delete the message from the server it will be deleted from kmail as well).

I am using cached imap for quite a while (5 or 6 years at least). Using 
filters I move some of the messages out of the inbox and into some other 
folders (such as a folder for opensuse mailing list), but the rest of the 
messages are kept in the inbox so that I can access them using webmail or 
mobile (same as you and probably many others).

The only unique thing about your environment (or at least different from my 
setup) is that you are probably using regular imap instead cached imap 
(although I don't think that should make a difference) and that your imap 
provider is speakeasy.net and not laposte.net (my provider). Could you find 
out what imap server is being used @ speakeasy? The mos probable reason why 
KMail isn't working correctly as far as I can think of any reason is that of 
a strange imap server. But if speakeasy is a large ISP company widely spread 
in the US as it looks on their site, I guess that somebody should have seen 
that problem.

Happy hacking
Filip

PS: Are you using some additional software apart from kmail, such as 
spamassassin or some virus scaner? Could it be that the messages had to be 
filtered through some of those programs?
