Version: 1.9.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux I have an out-of-the-box, but updated version (with the regular yum update) of kmail running (v1.9.3) running on FC5. I am trying to import my old kmail mail folders (which I save to spare disk), but every time I try it, kmail crashes. On some of the folders also errors occur which disappear on a second attempt. I tried removing the index files, which improved the behaviour slightly, but still crashes in the end. It mostly seems to happen when kmail is working very hard and the import tool complains that it cannot find a connection to kmail (which is logical, because it has crashed). Please help, I have a huge amount of e-mail which I would like to get back, but now are unusuable. Regards, Jeroen

Seems to be yet an other case of KMail crashing because of large attachments. If you delete all big messages or move them somewhere else, you should be able to import the rest of the mail. Reopen if this is not the case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 110574 ***
