--- Comment #13 from Thom C. <thom.castermans at gmail.com> ---
This bug also just manifested itself for me, on KDE 4.13.1. I am pretty sure
that it has to do with me setting the trash folder of an IMAP account to some
folder other than the default one in the Local Folders.

Luckily, I found a workaround for this bug at the KDE forums [1]. More
specifically, this post [2] gave what turned out to be the solution for me. I
opened Akonadi console and deleted the Local Folders agent in the Agents tab.
After that, I logged out and back in again to find KMail starting without any
problems again. Also, the folder I had marked to be the trash folder in the
IMAP account was still marked, so no information was lost in that regard.

Since this bug was the #1 hit on Google for me, I hope this solution helps some
others.

Cheers!
