Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Linux 2.6.27.25-0.1-default i686 System: openSUSE 11.1 (i586) KDE: 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) "release 158" Kontact Version 4.3.0 KMail 1.12.1 "Error-Kontact The process for the protocol pop3... died unexpectedly." Reproduction: Only happens when Kontact is opening when I turn on the pc and Kontact automatically loads up having been open in the previous session. When opening Kontact manually it is okay. Note that I have Kmail set to check for mail at startup. I do not use kwallet (as is mentioned in similar bugs) Thanks Steve
I can not reproduce. Does it occur always? Does it happen only with a specific POP3 account (can you test with a different POP3 server) ?
I had the same problem as I updated from 4.2.x to 4.3.0. Yesterday I updated from 4.3.0 to 4.4.0 and I have the same issue again. Unfortunately I don't remember how I fixed the problem; could be that I did something in the .kde/share/apps/kmail/ folder. This happens for all my POP3 accounts (I have no IMAP accounts) and I get one popup for each of them. Restart of KDE or kmail didn't fixed this failure. There is no kio_pop3 in my process list (read from that in http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdepim-users&m=124043386004619&w=2 ). I don't know how the kio_pop3 process is started, so I am not immediately able to provide a bt or core dump.

Created attachment 40910 [details] kmail startup messages I should mention that the failure occurs always at my place; not only under the special circumstances described in the original bug report.
Restart of KDE once again fixed the problem. I provide the kmail output once again for comparison.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
