Description Torsten Ekedahl 2007-06-04 20:09:20 UTC 
Version:           1.9.6 (using KDE 3.5.6-9.fc7 Fedora, Fedora release 6.93 (Rawhide))
Compiler:          Target: i386-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7

When starting kmail (with an account that uses imap) I get an
error dialog titled

Error - KMail
and with the message

Could not start process for imaps.

Kmail keeps trying to start an imap process, if I click OK to get
rid of an error dialog a new one pops up in a few seconds.

Try installing cyrus-sasl.
Also try launching KMail from commandline and see if it outputs errors about undefined symbols.
Also try updating to the lastest version (1.9.7).

OK, closing then.

I have debian testing/unstable.
I'm using KDE 3.5.9 and KMail 1.9.9

This bug started to appear to me too.
Comment 5 Oleg Atamanenko 2008-07-08 14:42:23 UTC 
By the way, debian repo doesn't contain package cyrus-sasl.
