Well, my version of PIM (Akonadi et al.) is 5.7.3, and that's not on the list,
so that's why I said "unspecified" ... there wasn't any way to say "other" and
fill in the blank, that I could see.

My issue isn't at startup time. KMail just freezes up from time to time,
apparently at random. I download all my e-mail using POP, so my set of folders
is pretty big and elaborate -- about 20,000 files and 1.6GB, according to
Dolphin. I've been using KMail since 2003.

I don't have enough room to run more than one version of Linux on my current
box. And it takes a lot of work to install a new release.So thanks for the
suggestion about 15.1, but I'm not likely to undertake that endeavor right
away.

I have already tried stopping akonadi and restarting it. I don't think there
are any issues with KMail when it first starts -- just a minute -- I'll go
check. I do get a couple of warning messages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[0805/084258.513261:WARNING:stack_trace_posix.cc(648)] Failed to open file:
/home/david/#2753352 (deleted)
  Error: No such file or directory
1 : "Uncaught ReferenceError: qt is not defined"
1 : "Uncaught ReferenceError: qt is not defined"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first one makes some sense to me ... after KMail froze up the last time,
there were about 100 spurious objects ("no RID") and 75 spurious files
("unreferenced external files") when I ran "akonadictl fsck". Akonadi wouldn't
get rid of all of them on its own, so I resorted to brute force (I got this
trick from somebody named Karl (Langenfeldt?) in the openSuSE forums.)

~: find .local/share/akonadi/file_db_data/ -type f|xargs rm

As I recall, that erased about 20 unreferenced external files. So the one file
KMail is squawking about may be one of those.

The other messages, about "qt", make no sense to me, at all. Thanks!

PS I just opened this bug report because I haven't had this problem with KMail
until very recently. It's not a real big deal as far as I'm concerned. It's
just an annoyance -- when it stops working, I have to shut KMail down, than log
out of Plasma and log back in again. That takes maybe 2 or 3 minutes. A
nuisance, but not the end of the world.  :)
