Sorry, if this is the wrong place to post this. But I think it is connected to this bug.

Yesterday it happend again.
My /home folder ran out of space and kmail crashed. After I freed some megabytes on /home kmail refused to start because of a corrupted .inbox.index
I deleted that .inbox.index file and could start kmail again.
I think I did not lose any mail BUT a lot of "unknown" mails appeared as well as old deleted mails.
My inbox and sent-mail files are huge (730MB and 430MB). The "compact folder" option ("Ordner komprimieren" in german) seems not to work - last time I had this "out of space" crash I deleted all mail from before 2006. Now everything back to year 2000 is back :-(
I use the same Mail folder for years now. Everytime I updated to a new Suse Linux version I kept my mails. So I can not tell you with which kmail version I created the files.
Today I use a Suse 10.1 with KDE 3.5.1 Level "a" and Kmail 1.9.1
