I just found this as a duplicate to a bug I was about to file. I can't believe this has been an issue since 2005!!

I am using KDE 3.5.8, Kmail 1.9.7. I compiled from Gentoo portage using GCC 4.1.2 (gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2)). I am using amd64.

When I start KMail I get a few errors in my .xsession-errors, but then when I go to view my mailbox I get a failure window like this:

"Error while retrieving messages. The process for the imaps://imap.gmail.com protocol died unexpectedly."

I also get the following in my .xsession-errors:

QGArray::at: Absolute index 0 out of range
kioslave: ####### CRASH ###### protocol = imaps pid = 24109 signal = 11

I don't believe that a specific message causes this problem. I have set up a separate folder on my imap account and moved mail back and forth between it and my INBOX to try and find a mail that causes a crash. I have not been able to pinpoint a mail - I can move thousands of mails over and load them without a crash, but then if I delete ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and reload the same folder, it will crash before it is able to download all the mails that did not cause a crash before.
