Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports Note: this is actually a freeze, not literally a crash, but they're to the same effect anyway. To make KMail (or Kontact) deadlock (or at any rate freeze), follow these steps: - configure an online IMAP account with a wrong password - tell KMail to check the account on startup - restart KMail (this is manadatory) - the "please enter the correct password" dialog comes up - hit cancel - KMail will never come back. BTW, there's another issue with endless dialog-cancel-dialog loops when unable to connect to IMAP accounts, very often reported, maybe they're related to this issue.
What do you mean exactly with "KMail will never come back?" The screen is not repainted, but remains a gray/white surface without text (and the CPU goes like 100%)? In that case, this is a different bug than the many-reported-infinite-loop with IMAP authentication (bug 122096).

It's certainly different, I was just suggesting that they might have the same cause. ___________________________________________________________ Der fr
When KMail freezes, try killing it with "kill -SEGV <pid-of-kmail>". That might get you a crash dialog with backtrace. If so, please paste the backtrace here, thanks.

Is this still happening with KDE 4.3?
No response. Closing old KDE 3 crash
