--- Comment #4 from William Paul Liggett <junktext at junktext.org> ---
Yeah, I am having the same issues that the original poster, Bernd Oliver
Sünderhauf, mentioned two years ago, but I may have arrived at the same
conditions via a different path.  I am using KMail v4.12.5 on GNOME Shell
v3.10.2 (Fedora 20, 64-bit) and this is a summary of my issue to be clear:

1. I cannot open any e-mails any longer.  Double-clicking on a message does
nothing.  It doesn't even attempt to open the e-mail.  When I right-clicking on
a message and select "Reply" (or if I press the "R" key), all that happens is
an endless loading dialog that says, "Please wait while the message is
transferred".  Nothing ever happens.

2. I was using KMail successfully, with two different e-mail accounts.  One was
an IMAP (via SSL) connection to a regular e-mail server, and my other e-mail
was a connection to a GMail account.  Both were working fine until...

3a.  Since I am on Fedora (on GNOME Shell, not KDE), I was trying to figure out
how to get the full search feature (Nepomuk) working.  As when I would click on
the icon with the binoculars (that has the pop-up label "Open Full Search"), I
would simply get a message saying:

Search Not Available - KMail

The Nepomuk semantic search service is not available. Searching is not possible
without it. You can enable it in "System Settings".

3b. Keep in mind that I am on GNOME Shell, not KDE, thus I don't think the
reference to me opening up and enabling Nepomuk in "System Settings" means much
to me (I cannot find such a menu on GNOME Shell).  After searching around on
the forums/bug reports, I ran across hints about needing to start the Nepomuk
program and to monitor what it is doing via the Akonadi Console.  In short on
this regard, I ran the command "nepomukserver" in terminal then I was able to
get Akonadi Console to make the "Akonadi Nepomuk Feeder" agent to fully index
my e-mail.  I was happy about this, since I wanted to search my e-mail more
thoroughly and I was finally able to get the binocular icon to show me a search
dialog (instead of the error message).  Yet, this new search dialog ended up
being worthless, since it couldn't pull up any e-mails I searched for.

4.  This is when I noticed the problem of not being able to open up any of my
e-mail messages as I stated at paragraph label "1."  Thus, I think Nepomuk
destroyed my KMail.  In the meantime, I'll head back to using GNOME's
Evolution.  But, I'll leave my KMail in this state of disrepair in case
somebody has a suggestion.
