[kdepim-users] Kontact crashed, will not reopen -- Resolved (sort of)

[gczerw at ec.rr.com]

I accidentally resolved the problem, but I have no idea why my actions resolved it.
I moved all of the {numbered} files in /.kde4/kmail2/autosave to another temporary directory, then attempted to start kontact, and it started!

If someone can explain why this worked, I'd appreciate it!

It crashes with the message that I listed near the bottom of my original post, 
just under the kontact error.

What happens if you try to open KMail directly?
