Description Marcin Gryszkalis 2010-04-26 15:46:54 UTC

Application: kmail (1.13.2)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) (Compiled from sources)
Qt Version: 4.6.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.33-gentoo-ines i686
Distribution (Platform): Gentoo Packages

-- Information about the crash:
I edited filters configuration few days before closing KMail (these filters worked ok). After closing I cannot start KMail anymore. I'll try to edit config by hand I report here if anything is related.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Comment 1 Marcin Gryszkalis 2010-04-26 18:24:20 UTC

It looks like some settings got lost on exit (including message tags).

Crash was caused by filters containing reference to tag, like:

action-args-0=xyz
action-name-0=add tag

after removing such lines from kmailrc kmail started (reporting lack of action).

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
