           Summary: KMail2 migration failed, prevents KMail2 from running
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: blackdragon at highveldmail.co.za


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                FreeBSD

When running KMail for the first time the kmail-migration runs and reports
success however after closing the dialog KMail does not appear.  

`ps -A` shows kmail-migration still running.  If `killall -9 kmail-migrator`
then KMail appears however all the emails are missing (existing directory
structure present).  
NOTE: emails are still present on disk and no changes have been done to the the
mailbox dirs.  

Running kmail after first run produces an error in kmail-migrator of "No
backend for '' available." otherwise the same as above happens.  

Reproducible: Always




In .kde4/share/apps/kmail I had:
