[kde-linux] KMail will not send email

[Ernie Schroder]

I've been going through hell for several days after removing old 
versions of KDE from my machine. Kmail refuses to send emails. I have 
deleted and replaced both of my accounts. I've removed kdepim and 
replaced it with kmail and it's dependancies to no avail. I've 
reinstalled kdepim and I've recompiled all of kde-3.5.
User names and passwords are correct and smtp servers are set propperly 
in the kmail settings. These settings work for the ISP's webmail 
interface and for Thunderbird.
Included below are the backtrace from the kde crash handeler and the 
output from konsole. Note tha kmail crashed when I removed mail that 
failed to send from my outbox.
