I just made this experience:

There was an IMAP account and some filter rules with references to this account. When I unsubscribed that account (leaving other imap accounts unchanged) and closed kmail a bit later, the GUI of kmail disappeared but one kmail process continued to run, consuming 100% of one CPU. This process was killed later by a shutdown, but afterwards each start of kmail failed, i.e. it caused one kmail process to run at 100%, but the kmail GUI did not appear (no error messages when starting it from konsole).

My solution: I discovered that in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ there were still a file and a folder (named .$ID.index.ids and .$ID.index.directory, while the files $ID and .$ID.index lacked) of the unsubscribed imap account, and the ID of that account still appeared in several places of the config file ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc. I removed those two files and substituted all mentioned folders with that ID in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc by some other folders. Afterwards kmail started (almost) normally.

My version: kmail 1.9.1 of KDE 3.5.1 installed from SuSE RPM kdepim3-3.5.1-41.36 (lib64).
