Don't manipulate files in KMail's data directories when KMail is running. If KMail is not running, modifications to mail files should make the respective KMail index invalid (it will then have an older modification timestamp than one of the maildir directories). Or you remove the KMail index file for the mail folder that you have manipulated with an external tool Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
