[Bug 347966] [NEW] kdepim (time tracker) loses data when running out of diskspace

[AllesMeins]

Public bug reported:

When running out of disk space kontact destroys data. I recently ran out
of diskspace while kontact was open and the timetracker was running.
kontact notified me with an warning message. After reading it I freed up
some space and pressed okay. As promised kontact closed itself. After
reopen kontact I noticed that every entry in Time Tracker was gone (even
those, that were not running). Additionally kmail began to redownload
every mail that was already fetched but also left on the server (i've
selected "leave fetched messages on the server") so I'm now having every
mail twice in my folder.

I think kontact should handle running out of space more gracefully.
Losing already stored data like my Time Tracker History is definitely
not an option. Espacialy not if enough space was freed before closing
kontact. At least the option to retry writing the data before going down
should be present. Currently it looks like there is absolutly no way to
rescue the data if you run out of space by accident.
