Description Daniel Jaime 2005-07-06 23:36:12 UTC 
Version:           1.7.1 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24-default

After receiving and sending eMail I interrupted the connection to the internet. After viewing all, reading some and deleting a few I reconnected to the internet to send to further eMails previously written. Just here kmail crashed.

The report does contain too few information (e.g. no backtrace) and in the light of the age of it, I'll close it.

In the meantime my system crashed completely. The reason was simply not enough space in the / (root) partition. However this was not obvious, since short after booting the system shew little but enough space. Starting kmail and firefox in parallel seems to have been enough to overload the system. And a lot of applications did and still do not remove the files stored on /tmp which I thought should contain only temporary files. I don't know if I may delete them from time to time or when restarting my computer.

After a complete rebuild of the system (opsenSuSe 11.1) on a disk of double capacity my system is running again very fine and with the import function of kmail I could save nearly all mail. Only a few were reported to haven't been imported/recovered.

At the moment I'm looking for a way to recover kmails addressbook. However I haven't been successfull. Maybe you can give me a hint or send me a link to an explanatory url (the old disk is complete readable). Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Daniel Jaime

With "kmails addressbook" I think you mean the global addressbook in KDE, used with e.g. kaddressbook.
The files KDE uses are simple text files (one or many, depending on the way yoou set up your resources). A single file resource can be e.g. /home/koller/.kde4/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf

To recover, simply use the old file as a file resource.
