[gentoo-user] Kmail marking messages Read by itself

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I've been noticing recently that the messages I read in Kmail are fewer 
than those it's fetched from my ISP's POP3 server, according to the 
status line at the bottom of the window. I couldn't quite put my finger 
on any specific problem - until now, when I had just finished reading the 
new e-mails in this list and clicked on Check Mail before going to bed. 
I saw the unread-message counter go to 1 in this same list's folder, 
then back to blank without any action by me. I now have no idea which of 
the 4126 e-mails has just arrived, and I don't intend to search for it!

Has anyone else here seen this problem? Bugzilla has nothing. This is 
kmail 1.13.1 with kde-4.4.1 on an ~amd64 box.

  Can you sort/filter email by date received?  At least that would allow
you look at only recent emails.

I could, but that would ruin the threading. It would help me track that 
hidden e-mail down, but it wouldn't help in the general case.
