Version: Kontact: 1.4.2 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kontact crashes at random. It happens to me multiple times a day, but I can find a systematic event which courses the crash. When restarting kontact the last state of kmail is restored, except for the marking of some of the read mails as unread.

Maybe related to bug 124372
After a clean reinstall of Kubuntu juanty, kontact/kmail still crashes with the same traceback. I don't see any relation to bug 124372, but I'm no developer. I will be happy to provide further details for the bug to be solved.
Created attachment 35146 [details] Backtrace of kmail Backtrace of bug
When stating kmail directly (instead of stating kontact), a slightly different backtrace is produced. I have attached the backtrace here. Please ask for more details if needed.

Do you have a pre-command set for this account ? (kmail/settings/Configure KMail/Accounts and the "Advanced tab"
Yes I have two accounts each calling a script which connect to a the specific server. The script contains: ssh -C -f username@server -L 2025:localhost:25 -L 2110:mail.server:110 'sleep 5'; sleep 1
SVN commit 1017922 by mkoller: BUG: 196053 Fix crash in precommand execution (hopefully). The crash was probably due to the eventloop object got destroyed in its own loop. M +5 -11 kmaccount.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1017922
