[kdepim-users] KMail crashing every time in 4.5 RC2

[Jim Philips]

Hmm! I'm just doing IMAP (no POP3) out to two different servers, one of
which is GMail. I have had so many problems with KMail for the last eight or
nine months that I've almost given up on it. First, the address book was
unusable, because of Akonadi failures and now this.
