Description Al Dunstan 2009-11-10 14:52:50 UTC

Application that crashed: kmail
Version of the application: 1.12.2
KDE Version: 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2)
Qt Version: 4.5.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.x86_64 x86_64
Distribution: "Fedora release 11 (Leonidas)"

What I was doing when the application crashed:
After the last set of updates KDE got all choked up - after rebooting KDE wouldn't start cleanly.  Background didn't get redrawn (leaving an image of the window that had been open on the background - amusing but not useful), toolbar wouldn't pop up, it was pretty much useless.  I moved my .kde directory to kde_save and tried rebuilding by copying one set of files over after another.
[Y'know, there's GOT to be a better way of figuring out which part of KDE is trashed - this just takes WAY too long.  Some log file somewhere, something!].  After copying enough for it to be useful (kmail, wallet, maybe a few others) I went to forward an email and it said

"It is not possible to send messages without specifying a sender address.  Please set the email address of identity 'Dad' in the Identities section of the configuration dialog and then try again."

I'd entered the actual email address - not an alias or any such thing.  I now find that I can neither send nor forward any emails at all.  I was seeing what kinds of 'clean up' options kmail had and thought I'd try 'compress folder' when it segfaulted on me.

Thanks. Merging with 199271.

Side note: If you want to make a backup of the kmail settings, you must save:
- emailidentities
- kmailrc
- mailtransports

+ the kmail directory in .kde/share/apps
