(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 2.1.2 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:                Linux 2.4.0 i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

After getting back from a 4 day vacation I fired up KMail and it was downloading 766 messages from my pop3 server (on the same machine). When it reached message 751 the KDE2 crashed but the X server remained running as well as the background picture. I had to ctrl-alt-del to get back out to KDM and re-login again. Once back in I was able to retrieve the rest of the email.

Have a great day!

Known problem in that version already fixed in the development version.
