I did as you suggested and the difference is that the numbering of the 
messages on the server are now reversed; i.e. the more recent messages are 
numbered from 1,2,3,...,165.  The last message I sent after the moving of 
messages and uploading them back onto the server is numbered correctly, i.e. 
166.

Anyway, I noticed this sequence of steps when sending a message:

1. I click Send.  Message is delivered to sender and shown in the Kmail imap 
sent folder.  So far, so good.
2. I click on Check Mail.  The previous error message comes up about message 
deleted on server and do I want to delete it locally.  Checking the webmail 
sent folder list shows that the recently sent message is there.
3. Accepting the error message to delete the sent message locally clears it 
out of the Kmail IMAP sent folder.  Checking the webmail gui shows me that 
the sent message is actually still there.  I has not been deleted from the 
server.
4. I click on Check Mail again.  Now the recently sent message is downloaded 
from the server into the Kmail imap sent folder.

I guess this behaviour is similar to the previous Kmail version, except of the 
error message for a deleted message on the server.  Can anyone make sense out 
of this?
