Hi Paul   

Back in Kmail2 

Well if this gets thru it may well be getting there i have completely deleted 
all the accounts  and re done them but getting used to that now so does not 
take long (all in my head now even the dang passwords full of  all sorts)  
also the same with the filters  .

I can sometimes end up with 2 or 3 copies of a message or a message will go 
straight to the trash can and as soon i i access it the can just empty's .

then there is the one about the Local folder not existing  and the unable to 
move message (message number)  .

One thing i can not find right now is just where the Mail is supposed to be 
stored  i can not find it at all    .
