Description happy 2010-12-02 22:35:54 UTC 
Application: kmail (1.13.5)
KDE Platform Version: 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1)
Qt Version: 4.7.0
Operating System: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic-pae i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 10.10

-- Information about the crash:
Initial condition (before crashes) was that KMail was busy working at displaying a gmail folder but making no headway.
Getting bored with that and getting no satisfaction trying to terminate the task through the UI, I chose to exit the application normally (ie: through the file menu item)

After that, KMail no longer starts, and in seems to crash quite early in launch (no UI apparent)

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: KMail (kmail), signal: Segmentation fault

I have been able to work around this issue.

1. GOTO: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/
2. rename "imap" to "~imap"

This causes Kmail to reload all mail. Whatever was offending it is forgotten.

Comment 16 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-19 10:52:11 UTC 
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
