It is completely reproducable. Data will only be lost if you have to
accounts, abort when asked for password for one of them and then move
email from one account to the other. The email will not be moved but
left in trash. With default settings trash is not deleted
automatically.

Of course I would prefer the bug to be fixed. I have asked the
upstream maintainer if he could give me some clues about the
relationship between unauthenticated and offline more, but no answer
so far. Also the bug has been open, grave and marked "help" for quite
some time. If you think it should be grave, I do not object.
