Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Compiler: gcc-4.2.1 not compiled by me OS: Linux After downloading some mail, kmail crashed. Now every-time I open it it crashes again. The bugtrace points to an issue with the formatting of the message. I'm a bit hesitant to send over my 91M inbox on which it apparently crashes (as that was the window that was open at the time), both for privacy reasons as for size. Selectively deleting messages did not appear to help. I've now moved my original inbox to inbox.bak (it's a file), and things are now working again, but whenever I try to view my original inbox, kmail again crashes.

"Things back working again" was a bit too optimistic. It now crashes everytime I try to retrieve mail.
I've resolved the issue for myself by completely reinstalling kmail (using apt-get remove --purge). So the issue seems to have been in the internal settings of the application. As I doubt this report has sufficient detail to reproduce the behaviour, it's probably wisest to close the bug.
Yes, I'm closing. I'm guessing there were some library problems and the bodypartformatter library couldn't be loaded for some reason.
