Since the file still contains the QPSQL specifc settings, this looks a lot 
like a bug to me, i.e. something writing the [%General] section but not having 
read it correctly.
Could have been missed when Postgres capabilities were introduced.
Strange thing is that it sometimes works, makes it harder to determine the 
actual cause :(

Can you reproduce it everytime you first start KMail after a reboot?

Cheers,
Kevin
