Description Walter Hunziker 2007-12-03 09:45:19 UTC
Version:           1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22-14-generic

Usually I had in Kmails Mainmenu 3 frames/planes:

- to the left are all Folders (incoming, outgoing, own folders for mails)
- in the middle of the screen were always a brief listing of the mails (Nachrichtenliste in German). Somehow, this frame vanished I couldn't find out
  how to restore it. In fact I tried all possible functions in (Kmail einrichten). Nothing helped.
- the third frame is the mail-preview and works fine.

--> so, I have only two frames: the folder one and the mail-preview one. Between them are dotted lines to move the frames, but I can only move both together and not apart (to make room for my needed Nachrichtenliste). Sorry, when I translate Nachrichtenliste I end up with maillist which is interpreted as mailinglist and absolutly not the same. Uff.

I do appreciate any tip very very much, since that info is somewhat crucial.  Many thanks in advance.

It's bit hard to reproduce but try following steps and report back.


1. Goto Settings->Configure kmail->Appearance->Layout.
2. Select "message preview pane below message list". 
3. Apply and see if you see message list and message preview below it.
4. Now change "message preview pane next to  message list". 
5. Apply and report back the results.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
