Is there a chance to have this fixed one day?
I tried again today with version 1.12.0 (using kde 4.3 final), downloaded my
mails (I luckily have them on a server), experienced like 5 crashes while
filtering and have a corrupt index again. This makes kmail pretty much unusable
to me, every single time I try to use this application it crashes multiple
times and corrupts the mail index :(

Rebuilding an index from a backup is not doable, as I do backups only every
night, having 5 crashes in a row and hundreds of lost mails really is not
acceptable.

You should flag Kmail as highly unstable and warn people to use it, I have
these index corruptions since 5 years, through all the versions, and it didn't
get better by a yota.

As much as I love KDE, this is a serious drawback to the everyday use.

A bug marked as 'grave' should have a high priority for the developers, hence
changing the priority.
