My inbox, which has no expiry rules set, has gone from a 6 digit msg
count encompassing dates back to 2002, had suddenly lost quite a few
years worth of content, and is now showing 1522 msgs, for 91.2
megabytes.
Loosely confirmed by a du -h performed in my Mail/inbox directory, so
they are truly gone.
3 or so months ago, it was showing close to 695,000 msgs, and about 12
gigabytyes. However, another folder which also has no expiry rules, is
showing north of 87,000 mesgs, & 481 megs occupied.
Does anyone have a clue where they may have gone?
Cheers, Gene Heskett

You have, I assume, checked all trash cans? Not because they ought to be
there, or indeed have any right to be there, but becauise, let us hope, they
are *some*where.

more than trashcans, i d also try an updatedb ( mlocate/slocate first
configured to find everything everywhere ) and then a locate for a
pattern included in those file names, hopes this help, good luck with
that.

Difficult to say :-)
But definitely *NOT* a 32 bit file count overflow, since the limit for 32 bit unsigned
counters is in the region of
4.3G and signed ones 2.1G, so well above 695000.
I would definitely do things from CLI, but if you prefer graphical tools, you may consider
installing Filelight (if
not already done) and use it to try to locate the "big" folder with all your
emails. Or use Konqueror -> View -> View
mode -> RadialMap view (not 100% but probably it requires Filelight to be installed
anyway).
Cheers
Michele

procmail, after running fetchmails output thru the gamut of spamassassin

maildir folders. Generally I avoid anything inside kmail that even
smells like an mbox file, too slow.
My mailwatcher script, which uses inotifywait to watch that directory and
notify kmail to go fetch the mail, normally operates fast enough that
this mbox file is very rarely more than one incoming mail.
I have obviously scripted 99% of the mail handling here. All so kmail
doesn't have to go out on the net and fetch new mail. All it has to do
is process the incoming mail dropped in /var/spool/mail, which it can
usually do in 1/2 second or less.

but at less than 500 megs, thats not all of them.
Thats a fairly recent date, but I sure don't remember creating it. Thats
one of the problems of advanced age, 8 decades so far. I don't recommend
it. Avoid it as long as you can. :)
What I do know is that I may have moved some of them just to speed up
kmail, one of the other folders is right at 500 megs now, and accessing
it is about 6 or 7 seconds to find a new mail. That gets boring too.
Whats filelight? Something that _thinks_ its an mc?

None of those will ever run out of drive even if it was a 20 Gb drive &
the smallest out there is 250Gb. Severe overkill IMO.
One thing I miss is that I can recall kmail's composer highlighting what
