If I understand correctly you do the following: - - select a folder - - open the folder's properties dialog - - check 'Expire old messages in this folder' - - leave the default values (7 Never resp. 28 Never) unchanged - - click OK - - quit KMail And after restarting KMail 'Expire old messages in this folder' is again=20 unchecked? I can't reproduce this. Does 'Expire' appear in the folder's context menu after you have checked=20 'Expire old messages in this folder' (and closed the folder properties=20 dialog)?

Hi Ingo I'm afraid that that is exactly what happens. Expire appears in the context menu after I close the properties dialog but= =20 before I close Kmail. On restarting it is also there but Kmail then crashes. On restarting Kmai= l=20 again all the information has been lost. If it helps any these are mbox format mailboxes possibly from when I was= =20 using Kmail 1.3.1 Cheers Jon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE89JeAAbE84SqoMZERAvJGAJ9WAH1IaXHNC8uRk8Ru6/4gHWrQpgCfWwyf I9PoAovVeO+quICFF7rH4Hk=3D =3DLNpz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

not that #46625 notes that this only happens for level 2 and above
Can you still reproduce this problem? Do other folder properties survive a restart of KMail? Can you reproduce this problem with the Trash folder? What's the name of the affected folder? Does the name probably contain brackets, i.e. [ or ]?
Closing, as there was no reply for several months and without more information there is little more we can do.
