Description Grósz Dániel 2024-05-06 22:19:05 UTC 
SUMMARY
If I quit Kontact while composing an e-mail, then after starting Kontact again, two mail Kontact windows appear, and two composer windows for each one that was open before quitting Kontact.

The windows mostly behave normally, but e-mails don't show up in one of the main windows. The way to exit this state is to close all the Composer windows first, then quit both main windows (at that point Kontact segfaults), then start Kontact again. After that, Kontact behaves normally.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a new e-mail in the Mail component of Kontact, or reply to an e-mail. Optionally make some changes in the e-mail, though it doesn't seem to be needed.
2. Quit Kontact, for instance with Ctrl+Q in the main window.
3. Start Kontact again.

OBSERVED RESULT
Two main Kontact windows, and two Composer windows.

EXPECTED RESULT
One main Kontact window, and one Composer window with the e-mail I started writing.

Finally a precise description of what I have been suffering for some time! Thank you also for the instructions on how to leave this state.

This is still a problem with Kontact 6.3.3. (24.12.3).

However, my way of reproducing it about 75% of the time is slightly different:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an existing e-mail in the Mail component of Kontact via double click.
2. Reply to this e-mail. 
2. Quit Kontact, for instance with Ctrl+Q in the main window.
3. Start Kontact again.
