Hello,

Same thing here. Using Kmail 4.7.3 on "Linux (x86_64) release
3.1.5-2.fc16.x86_64". I have accepted all updates since installing Fedora 16.
I started with a clean install of Fedora 15, then after a few days I upgraded
to Fedora 16. KMail was fine when using Fedora 15. After the upgrade KMail
appears to be completely fubar, as in, *many* things simply not working, among
which:
- the bug under discussion
- loss of all old e-mail, after KMail detected that I had e-mail from an older
version (the one of Fedora 15)
- no longer being able to retrieve e-mail, after having worked at least once
(since I have two messages in my inbox)
- when I attempt to reply to a message (as in clicking on the Reply button) a
popup window opens telling me to wait a moment while transmitting the message.
After a while that window closes and then nothing (no e-mail composing window).

About the bug under discussion, apparently the data hasn't been lost, because
when I hover over the subject line, I see part of the e-mail message, while the
pane that should show the contents in full continues to display the message
"Retrieving Folder Contents" (in Dutch).

Is there a way to reinstall Kmail without having to reinstall Fedora 16? There
doesn't appear to be a package specifically for kmail though. Using:
# yum list|grep -i kmail
yields nothing. Same thing for:
# yum list|grep -i kontact
Of course I have also tried "yum install" with both kmail and kontact as
package name.

I hope you can at least provide me with a work-around, because I have used
KMail for several years and would like to continue using it. For now, I am
forced to look for an alternative.

Kind regards,
Daniël
