Description Martin Flöser 2014-03-19 07:49:39 UTC 
KMail crashes whenever I try to search anything either in the search bar or in the email composer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KMail
2. Try to search
Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
search results

Terminal output from running KMail:

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Xapian::DatabaseOpeningError'
*** KMail got signal 6 (Exiting)
*** Dead letters dumped.

Backtrace is useless (rethrown exception) and I didn't succeed yet in catching the exception with gdb.

Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2014-03-19 16:27:25 UTC

Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2014-03-19 18:14:09 UTC 
I have the same problem in knotes too
Comment 5 Vishesh Handa 2014-03-20 09:32:07 UTC 
I think I have fixed the problem yesterday. Please re-open if it still happens.

I'm working on a mini Qt wrapper on top of xapian which is exception safe, so these kind of issues should become less prevalent.
