Description Wilbert Berendsen 2006-03-03 10:26:11 UTC 
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-gentoo-r5

Today Kontact crashed (because I ran Kontact while it was already started, that's another story).

After restarting, KMail complained that it could not create a folder on the (dimap) server. But the folder already exists, and KMail should just not _try_ to create that folder.

So somehow a crash messes up KMails idea of the folders on the server.

Yes, KMail crashes always mess up its indices and what it knows about the server.
Comment 2 Arne Schmitz 2006-05-09 09:15:32 UTC 
Same symptoms here. Is there any news about this bug?
Comment 3 Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper 2006-09-12 19:48:56 UTC 
Just a 'me too'.  I'm running SUSE 10.1, using KDE 3.5.3.

Thiago, do you have ideas on how this can be fixed?  I might be able to spend some time looking into it if you can give direction for a good solution...

After upgrading to 3.5.4 in Debian testing this problem did not appear anymore. kmail did crash quite a few times since then, but I did not have any problems like this.

Last report said "fixed" and there are no further reports. Please report back if you still experience this in a recent kmail version
