Sentry Crash Report:

Description Harland Coles 2009-01-10 10:21:20 UTC 
Version:           1.9.10 (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Using the system tray icon to reopen kmail (as part of kontact), and if the trash folder was previously selected before close, the trash folder looks empty except for the threading tree lines are still present on the very left (each row is blank except for the 'tree' thread lines).  If an email row item is selected while in this odd state then kmail (and kontact) crash. If another folder is selected as soon as this odd state is observed, then all continues as normal, and coming back to the trash folder is then in a normal state (ie all rows showing). Have not observed this with any other folder.

Here is the last backtrace from Crash handler:
System configuration startup check disabled.

Thank you for your effort and time in making kmail an excellent program (barring the odd crash) =)
Comment 1 Harland Coles 2009-01-10 10:36:25 UTC 
To clarify further, this does not happen everytime I reopen kmail from the system tray and the trash was previous selected.  It is intermittent.  Was just able to reproduce the odd state.  With kmail open (in kontact), emptied the trash via toolbar icon, with trash folder selected, closed kmail (and kontact), then used the system tray icon to 'check mail' (I don't check mail that way normally). Some email was retrieved (and since I use filters to weed out spam, some went straight to trash) and then reopening kmail from the system tray icon, the trash showed itself in the odd state again (only thread lines showing).

The version you are using is almost unmantained.

You my try to use kmail from kde4.
Hint: It is possible to use kmail from kde4 and still use the old kde3 desktop. just install kde4-kmail (or kde4-pim) from yast2 (or zypper) and you'll have it.
Probably you will need to setup again you mail accounts as the account information is store in another directory (.kde in 3.5 and .kde4 in 4.x).
