Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Quitting kMail via the tray icon only closes kMails main window and removes the tray icon, but there's still a kmail instance left running invisibly. Logging of from KDE in this state causes a kmail crash window to appear (SIGSEGV), stating kmail again in this state also causes a crash window to appear or alternatively "nothing" to happen, but the invisible instance is gone after the failed start attempt.
I am also experiencing this running on Fedora 10, fully updated. kmail is listed under krunner's system activity using ~180M of ram and is still actually eating CPU cycles. I also see a kio_file for a kmail socket residing under kdeinit4. This is on KDE 4.2.0, KMail 1.11.0. Even using quit from kmail's File menu doesn't remove the thread. I can still re-open kmail and it opens quickly. I am using kmail to download e-mail from an Exchange server through imap. Re-opening it then using File->Quit left a kio_imap4 thread behind as well.

This bug can be still experienced on KDE 4.3.3 (and earlier 4.3 versions). After quitting Kontact, there are some processes left: kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket.... kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imaps local:/tmp/ksocket.... kdeinit4: kio_pop3 [kdeinit] pop3 local:/tmp/ksocket.... One cannot start Kontact again without "killall kontact" first.
Probably there are other duplicates of this. Will try to find them

I'm not able to reproduce using KDE 4.4.5. Please reopen if someone is able to reproduce in KDE 4.4.5 or more recent.
(In reply to comment #6) > I'm not able to reproduce using KDE 4.4.5. > > Please reopen if someone is able to reproduce in KDE 4.4.5 or more recent. not sure if this is completely fixed ... even after 'kmail' process disappearing, I still have running processes like these: kavol 9630 9449 0 11:02 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_imap4 [kdeinit] imap local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/klauncherMT9450.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/kmailTm9444.slave-socket kavol 9881 9449 0 13:02 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_pop3 [kdeinit] pop3s local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/klauncherMT9450.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/kmaillQ9444.slave-socket kavol 9894 9449 0 13:03 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kio_file [kdeinit] file local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/klauncherMT9450.slave-socket local:/tmp/ksocket-kavol/kmailwA9444.slave-socket - not to mention tons of akonadi/dbus/nepomuk ballast ... however, I don't have the rights to reopen this
