It's really easy to reproduce.
Create a Maildir directory (~/mail-to-lose) and copy an existing
maildir there. Then create new KMail account, select Local maildir (or
something like that, I use KMail with czech l10n) and set the path
(~/mail-to-lose). Before I press "check the mail" button,
~/mail-to-lose is about 10MB in size. After I press the button, I see
~1000 new mails in KMail, but ~/mail-to-lose is empty. All the mail
went somewhere to .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/inbox/. And I can't see
any option to tell KMail just "keep the mail in ~/mail-to-lose".
Because, most likely, there isn't any.
