I am going thru a phase where one of my kmail folders is about to roll
over the 65,536 for number of msgs.
Unforch as it approaches this it goes thru a phase where a group of
messages is not being marked as they are being read, so everytime I
leave that folder after having read the same 28 (this mornings count)
messages for about the 10th time, and it does mark them read as I
re-read them, but when I come back to that folder, it takes 30 secs or
so to scan it for unread, and them marks them as unread again.
Doing an ls -l on Mail/emc/cur shows these files without the appendages
as follows:

Does anyone have a clue how I might fix this. I just did a mark all as
read, clears the displayed count, without it showing in the next ls -l.
The current msg count is 60103 with these 27 once again claimed to be
unread. And from past experience with another list folder, it will
eventually get well, but will be a pita until the message count passes
another "magic boundary" which I don't recall the value of.
kmail has also, according to htop, taken to using 100% of a cpu for half
an hour at a time as it tries to fix thatever has gotten out of kilter.
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
