Description Brian O'Keefe 2004-04-08 05:19:50 UTC
Version:           3.2.1-11 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    I Don't Know
OS:          Other

I'm running KDE3.2.1 on my TiBook, Fink source, XDarwin window system. Recently was able to update KDE and kmail crashes mostly but sometimes will download several tens of messages before crashing with a "signal 6 sigabrt" message. Any help? I'mreasonably UNIX naive.
Thanks

I'm running OSX.2.6

Same problem except I don't even get that far -  KMail briefly opens (half a second?) then aborts with signal 6 SIGABRT. (I'm also on a TiBook, and installed from Fink, but I'm running Apple's X11.app on Panther.)
KMail WAS working up until two days ago - I deleted some messages from the inbox, and KMail crashes every time since.

Confirming....
It seems to crash reliably on certain specific messages. Will attach one of those.

Unfortunatelly this is the most recent version available through fink, so it remains current for Mac OS users. As I doubt it will be classed a prioritary bug (old KDE on MAC OS? Not a huge market-segment, probably) , I will try to investigate further myself.

I have had the same issue and have quit using kmail entirely. You can 
delete your in mail box (after using another mail client to get your 
messages) and that will remove the offending messages. It will crash 
again as soon as a new one arrives, however. I really checked this out 
and it was aproblem for some non-Mac users also back in KDE3.1. I hope 
that it eventually gets fixed in 3.3.
