If I'd seen your message first, it would have saved me some trouble, but in 
the end, all came out well.  I simply deleted that folder, and everything 
returned to normal.

When I did that, I thought I'd be getting rid of configuration data, not mail, 
my address book, etc.  I used KMail in KDE3 sessions as well, so it didn't 
occur to me that it would all be stored in ~.kde4.

However, on this machine that's not a problem.  I just use it to read mail, 
not store it.  I can replace the address book from another machine, and the 
received messages are stored elsewhere as well.  I just needed to recreate 
filter definitions and reapply some folder properties.

So deleting that folder was a fairly good solution - in MY case.  Others would 
do well to take a more cautious approach, such as you recommended.
