[Gllug] KMail's disappearing inbox

[Jonathan Harker]

Hi,

I'm using KMail 1.4.3 (KDE 3.0.3) Mandrake 9. I have it at work and at home.

So I go and stick a gllug mbox from work into my ~/Mail dir at home, and 

*BLAMMO*

suddenly my indox, outbox, trash and sent-mail are empty. They are in maildir 
format, which I'm completely flummoxed by. ls -l ~/Mail/inbox/cur/* gives a 
big list of files, but they're not showing up in KMail.

It's interesting that the broken mailboxes are the "blessed" ones with fancy 
icons. All my other child mail folders (a mixture of mbox and maildir 
formats, as I've been using KMail since Mandrake 7.0) are fine.

Has anyone else had this particularly infuriating kind of gyp?!

Do I need to cullybogle the ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail dir?

Or is this the final nail that will encourage me to use that Ximian Outlook 
clone or Mozilla's bloat-mail? And no, mutt and pine can go > /dev/arse

Luv Jon
