HEY WOW!  What a suggestion!  I played with some of the .KDE files for a while 
then got the idea to go into my actual IMAP maildir and wipe out the files 
there.  Since SOME of my IMAP mailboxes seem to work..my theory is that it 
has to be something on the server side interacting with KMAIL..  I deleted my 
courierimapuidbb and courierimapsubscribed files... and there are all my 
messages once again.

I'll keep my eye out on those files, my inbox and how accessing this inbox 
from several mail clients affects things.

Thanks Lance for that suggestion.  BTW I couldn't find the 'expire messages 
after __days" option.

oh..and to everyone else.  Sorry about the linux 'bad mouthing'.  I was just 
really frustrated.
