  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104956#c52 explains all the horror
of the situation.

  Ping daniel ? etch is close, and we *really* need to do something
here. I''ve looked at the source, disabling dimap seems quite ...
difficult to do, and upstream is clearly unwilling to fix it before KDE
4 wich will be too late.

  so fixing it (with a patch presumably) won''t be easy and will need
testing. we should work on it. I lack the essential qualities to write
that patch sadly, and I''ve not found any on the web.

Poking around people on irc sometimes helps.

The new plan is that we all during this week try to reproduce this bug and 
create a step-by-step-manual to reproduce it, so the kmail developres can fix 
it.

Remember that this is a dataloss bug, so have your backups ready (or use your 
spam folder for testing)

Happy testing - and let us get this bug squashed.
