Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Often when kmail is not closed properly (such as when my computer overheats and crashes itself), I'll restart, only to find that an email that I recently received is now blank; the Subject, Receiver and Date all display in the email list, however there is no text whatsoever displayed. Sometimes the message seems permanently destroyed; other times, the message reappears if I restart kmail. The email in general is one that I received recently; I am not sure whether such emails are destroyed because they were currently selected, or because they had been received before kmail had closed down properly. This has happened a lot, and I can (occasionally) reproduce the behaviour by: (1) Sending a email to myself (and select the email in the sent-mail and inbox folders - not too sure if selecting it is important) (2) Killing kmail (Ctrl+Alt+Escape *click*) (3) Restarting kmail, to discover that often at least one of the emails is blank.
Duplicate of bug 121272? Sounds like an index corruption. When this happens nect time, try the following: Shut down KMail, and remove the index files for that particular directory or mbox. Please report back whether this helps.
