I can confirm this bug.

I've tried a few different builds of UW-IMAP recently. It seems to happen with them all: both 2004 and 2006 versions. Matt, do you know what type of IMAP server you're connecting to?

Here's my post to the Kubuntu forums:

Hi Everyone,

Before I report this as a bug, I'd like to see if anyone has had similar problems.

I'm running Kontact 1.2.3, Korganizer 3.5.5, Kmail 1.9.1 from the sources listed in the Kubuntu site news for KDE-3.5.5. My IMAP server is running UW-IMAP 2006c1 with 'mix' format mailboxes. The problem also occured when i was using 'mbx' format mailboxes. This seemed to effect KDE 3.5.[43] as well.

Every time I restart Korganizer all my journal entries disappear until I rebuild the IMAP cache in Kmail for each journal folder. I have two journal folders configured for the IMAP server; one is for personal info and is private, the other is a group shared IMAP resource. This effects both folders. There is no data loss that I can see, however, the time it takes to rebuild the IMAP cache is very annoying.

I had been hoping to role this out as a workgroup solution for some of my small business customers. It won't be feasible until i can get a solution. The amount of journal use for some of these customers is huge making rebuilds very intensive for network, server, and client resources.

I don't know a whole lot about IMAP, but could this have something to do with the message UIDs? I'm willing to spend a bit of time troubleshooting this if anyone can give me some suggestions.

Thanks,
Jon
