Kmail has suddenly become disfunctional. When I launch it, it immediately terminates with the message:

Same here.
After adding a new IMAP resource and switching them to trash folder at the IMAP instance, kmail crashes.

Removing of
~/.local/share/local-mail/trash/
solves the problem.

Not every time, unfortunately.

Yesterday it helped.

But today it continued to blame it until I reconfigured maildir_resource to another directory :shrug:

I just experience this today on Kubuntu 23.04 and managed to fix it.
Yesterday, I had been re-configuring my IMAP accounts to trash things into the remote trash bins instead of my local one.
Today, when I started KMail I received this aforementioned error.

I did some mucking around in Akonadi Console until I figured out which IMAP resource was failing. Then I went to the "Agents" tab and did a "Configure Natively", changing the trash bin to another location (back to my local mail trash). I was able to restart Akonadi and KMail and everything seemed to be working. Next I configured it back to using remote trash and it still seems to be okay, although akonadiconsole did crash once while restarting the server.
