[Bug 874468] [NEW] deleted e-mail messages return upon arrival of new mail

[David Talmage]

Public bug reported:

I use KMail2 in Kontact on Kubuntu 11.10, upgraded from 11.04 yesterday.
When I delete a message in my IMAP INBOX folder, it appears to be moved
to the IMAP Trash folder. After I empty the IMAP Trash folder, the
deleted message reappears in the IMAP INBOX folder when a new message
arrives.

When I delete a message, the IMAP INBOX message count decreases and the
IMAP Trash message count increases.  KMail2 complains:
"onespeeddave.com: Select failed, server replied: A000128 NO Mailbox
does not exist, or must be subscribed to." Each message I delete
produces one of these complaints.

When I empty all trash folders, the IMAP Trash folder appears to get
emptied.  The message count goes to zero.  KMail2 repeats its complaint
once per deleted message.

When a new message arrives in the IMAP INBOX folder, the messages I
deleted are also there.

http://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Error:_Could_Not_Determine_Resource_Status
suggests it is the fault of a Courier IMAP server.  If that's the truth,
then I am stuck with this problem because I can't make my ISP change its
IMAP server. I don't think I should have to do that. I think it is up to
the KMail2 developers to fix the problem.

The previous version of KMail did not have this problem.
