- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Trying to start kmail, I have recently upgraded from KDE 4.5.x to 4.6.1 and kmail hasn't worked since.

I am using Kubuntu Maverick Backports repo for the KDE 4.6.1 packages. Everything is updated to the latest version.

The crash can be reproduced every time.

Comment 1 Rick 2011-03-24 00:36:39 UTC

Since this bug made it impossible to use kmail I have completely copied my .kde directory from another machine to fix it.

Removing ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/ had no effect. And doing a "find ~/.kde/ -iname '*kmail*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf" had no effect either.

I'm not sure what the cause was but I suspect Akonadi since I did get Kmail running after a while but when adding a new mail account it crashed with an akonadi cannot start error.
