(Actually I can't seem to reopen this bug in KDE. Argh. If someone doesn't notice and reopen it, I'll file a new one and link it to Debian.) It's with a heavy heart that I reopen this bug on KDE's and Debian's trackers. Here's what just happened to me (using KMail 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-4 from Debian): Every time I reboot, the system changes my mouse evdev device back and forth from /dev/input/event[1|2] to /dev/input/event[1|2], so I end up with no mouse control, having to switch to another VT, edit xorg.conf and restart X. KMail is usually in my previous session, and I have auto-login set up in KDM, so when I booted, it logged me in, started KMail and downloaded new mail. When I returned and saw that there was no mouse control, I edited xorg.conf and restarted KDM. I probably should have used the keyboard to log out of my KDE session first, rather than restarting KDM and causing X and all child processes to be terminated. But still, should that have caused seven e-mails that were displaying perfectly fine in my inbox and two subfolders to suddenly turn to "No Subject", completely-empty-view-the-source-and-there's-zilch goners? Then after logging back in, KMail proceeded to upload those empty mails to the IMAP server, erasing the e-mails there as well. Luckily I forward all my e-mail to GMail as well, so I can still see them there. The strange part is, after I restarted X and logged back in and started KMail, the e-mails in my inbox were fine, at first. I read one and replied to it even! But then when I clicked on the next unread message, the subject and sender of the message I just clicked on turned into "No Subject" and "Unknown". And then when I clicked on the message that I had *just read and replied to*, it also turned into "No Subject" "Unknown"! Then when I checked two other folders, the new messages in them were also "No Subject" "Unknown"! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but KMail still has this problem. (Or maybe this is actually a separate bug caused by a separate problem, but the end result is still mail loss in disconnected IMAP accounts.)
