Just hitting OK would have done it.

Good. So my guess was correct. The backtrace you provided with your 
other message shows that the index of this folder seems to be corrupt. 
If this is an IMAP folder then I suggest to delete the corresponding 
cache and its index files. You will find it somewhere in 
~/.kde-cvs/share/apps/kmail/imap/.<some number>.directory
where <some number> is the internal ID KMail uses for the corresponding 
IMAP account. You can find to correct number either by looking at the 
Account section in your kmailrc or simply by looking into all 
candidates under ~/.kde-cvs/share/apps/kmail/imap/.
