Description werner 2003-03-23 17:00:08 UTC
Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-xfs_pre6

I just noticed that with my ~/Mail directory beeing a symlink
to a remote directory on an nfs server (which works ok so far),
kmail crashes upon startup in case the nfs share is not mounted for some reason.
this is not really a problem since I know what I have to do in this case,
but I think it would be better to give a warning message instead of a
crash.

Can we get a backtrace?

This bug is very easy to reproduce with
  mv ~/Mail ~/Mail.tmp
  ln -s doesntexist ~/Mail
i.e. make ~/Mail a broken symlink.
