Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.0-2
Followup-For: Bug #268804
I'm suffering this as well. Of note is that all these folders and
sub-folders are maildir. Could this be related to the type of folder
that people are using?
Also note that I'm receiving mail using POP3 with KMail's internal
retrieval options.

Definitely different. Previously in KMail 3.2.2, all folders in a
newmail chain within the tree were highlighted, all the way to the top.
This included the 'Local Folders' option at the very top.

Not what happens here. The top level folder does not go bold. On opening
the top level folder after a sub folder has received mail, the sub
folder does not change it's status in any way. ie: It doesn't go bold,
the number of messages supposedly in the folder does not change, unread
messages field is blank, etc.

This also breaks the 'When trying to find unread messages: Loop in All
Folders' option ('Misc' section of 'Configure - KMail'), as it doesn't
find any new messages.
Hope this info helps.
