I don't know if I am experiencing the same exact bug or not, but my description
and solution has been similar.

Make sure all threads are stopped. Remove the apps/kmail folder in its
entirety. Edit the config/kmailrc file to remove all references to folders and
favorite folders. Restart. Wait for crash. Restart. Wait for crash. Repeat over
and over until I get lucky enough to get kmail to start. The upgrade to QT
4.5.2-3-f11.x86_64 from fedora today seems to have made it even harder to
actually get it running.

If I try to click on an inbox before all the tree views have filled in with +
by the top folder name, it is likely to crash as well instead of opening the
inbox. I have several deeply nested folders on the IMAP server. I have to wait
for it to update all folder trees for the server I'm trying to check the inbox
on to reliably get it to work.

Once it has attached to all the dovecot servers I don't have any further
troubles with it. It's just the startup that is absolutely frustrating. This is
a longstanding problem since going to the 4.x branch of KDE. It isn't something
that just cropped up recently. Currently seen on 1.12.0/KDE 4.3.00 from fedora
since the above release was a bit older. If I'm extremely lucky, I might get
two starts in a row, but that only happens once a month. Thankfully I don't
have to log out very often and can just leave it running.
