KDE Version 1.9.9  (KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu Hardy)
Application KMail
Operating System  Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-17-generic
Compiler Target: i486-linux-gnu

This is almost a daily occurance for me with remote Courier IMAP hosts; A few idents:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT IDLE QUOTA ACL ACL2=UNION] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc.  See COPYING for distribution information.

It seems that KMail caches the header, and when it 'defaults' to this message, it does not refresh the data.  It gets an index of 0, and crashes out, hard.

I've been using KMail for years, and have only had a few minor quibbles - however, the frequency and issues caused by this one within the last week with 3 remote IMAP accounts is unbearable.
