Comment 40 for bug 50039

Version: 1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Gentoo)
Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-gentoo-r1

I use disconnected IMAP as a resource for calendar and addressbook. It has happened now about 3 times where the imap kioslave gets into 100% cpu, typically after it has noticed a conflict in data even though I have not edited any event/address. This seems also to happen when I update an event, then re-update it before it had a chance to sync with the IMAP server (every 5 minutes or so). Then, it gets into conflict resolution mode, then IMAP trashing.

The result is then:
- some events/contacts are simply lost
- I have 3000+ empty messages in the corresponding folder (Calendar/ Contacts) all saying "No subject" (once I even had 19000+), which makes the syncing then horribly long.
- I have seen no pattern in the remaining data (like only the oldest, only the first half of the addressbook, etc.)

The data seems to be removed from the IMAP server, as I share this calendar/contacts with somebody, and their copy gets updated to the lossy version.

I may do some more operations on this if needed, as we share this on a "test trial" style.
