Description alessio.checcucci 2010-01-11 10:38:35 UTC
Application that crashed: kmail
Version of the application: 1.12.4
KDE Version: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
Qt Version: 4.5.3
Operating System: Linux 2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686 i686
Distribution: "Fedora release 12 (Constantine)"

What I was doing when the application crashed:
KMail (Fedora 12 i386) crashes after sometime from the startup (about 5-10 minutes), in the meanwhile it's very slow and almost unusable. It seems to access the disk very heavily (i/o wait is high) at startup.
Sometimes KMail is able to start but is incredibly slow and crashes after some time.
I am accessing two POP3 accounts (downloading mail locally) and one IMAP account.

Thank you for your report. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained and the code has changed sufficiently in Kmail2 so the backtraces are not really useful anymore. Should you experience the same crash in Kmail 4.8.5 or later, please open a new report for Kmail2. Thank you for your understanding
