           Summary: permanent crash on IMAP after upgrade from SUSE 10.2 to
                    10.3
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugreport zmi at


Version:           Kontact
Version 1.2.4, KMail
Version 1.9.6 (enterprise 20070904.708012) (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Since upgrading from openSUSE 10.2 to 10.3, kmail (kontact) crashes all the time. After a crash, you can't even restart, this only makes an immediate crash before any windows gets displayed.

I found that removing the ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ is sufficient to make kmail run again.

It's a pitty that an upgrade makes your system not work anymore - reminds me of that Windows thingy I used to yell and laugh about. Any chance of a simple and/or quick bugfix?
