I remember, years ago I had a problem with some index files in the mail 
directory. Those files have names

.<foldername>.index
.<foldername>.index.ids
.<foldername>.index.sorted

As these are hidden files, you need

ls -A

to see them. You can remove the files -- then Kmail will rebuild the index 
files on next startup (which may take some time if you have a lot of 
mail).
