Bug Description
I use kmail on my laptop with disconnected IMAP, and just had it delete the contents of my inbox.
I was having connection issues with my IMAP server, and pressed F5 to check for new mail. It popped up and said something about not being in sync (it made a reference to sync status 7), and did I want to resync or not. This wasn't a very clear message, but I presumed it was safe and told it to go ahead. It churned for a few minutes, and when it was done the only message there was one that had arrived while it was doing this. Checking the mail server showed that the maildir files were gone.
This seems Really Bad. Fortunately, there's nothing vital there (although I'd rather not have lost 1,500 messages).
I have many folders under the inbox, and they appear to be fine.

Is this on Hardy (with KDE 3.5.9)? What IMAP server are you using?
Is the problem reproducible? Do e-mail get moved to trash folder or are they just lost?
BTW, I have seen something like this in past (3.5.7), but not with recent releases (I am using it with Exchange 2003 IMAP Server).
