No, it's not. That particular issue wasn't mail loss. It was a path
change that made maildir folders seem to vanish until the path was
corrected.

The discussion wasn't about fixing mail loss bugs in Claws, though. It
was more about making the effort not to make changes in ways that could
lead to mail loss. It was probably on the developers list, not the users
list, so maybe that's why I can't find it.
