Can you give as a step-by-step guide to reproduce your crash?

Originally (prior to the crashing all the time)....
was sending 6 screen shots via email to a friend.
clicked send and got a signal 6 error for Kmail. didn't have any debug
libraries installed at that time.

Now as soon as i click on a message (be it opened or unopened) it gets to
the point of rendering the message text and suddenly crashes.
I have just started it now and include the crash info below

crash tonight at 6:28pm sunday 13th Dec 2009.

Note i thought for what ever reason it might've been an indexing issue and
have since (from initial failure to just before posting the original bug)
recreated the indexes for all directories regardless of how many emails
where in them - to no avail.

dave.

ps can do a screencast to show you the fault it you REALLY want :)

So you are saying that kmail always crahs now when you want to use it?

As of Thursday 17th dec 2009 yes.

it seems stable enough doing anything BUT clicking on a message.

IE i can click on menus and (e.g. File move up and down the list slide
across to the next one etc etc). But as soon as i click on a message Bang it
crashes.
I was updating my system when the initial crash happened so i'm wondering if
i should uninstall Kmail and then reinstall it.

At work at present so tonight i'll test what've said about roaming around
the menus and their lists tonight and report back if I am wrong.

rgds,

I am not entirely sure what the hell has happened!!!!

My wife has informed me that she tried loaded Kcontact and all of a sudden
kmail started to download emails etc. She was able to send off some emails
also.

So my question here is this....

if you have Kmail running and then run Kcontact would this somehow create a
conflict that would cause Kmail to fall over when it is run as an
independent program?

I have kmail loaded and running 99% of the time and also have a short cut on
the desktop so when or if Kmail falls over the user "just clicks" on the
icon to get Kmail back up.

When i started my desktop up again tonight i had Kcontact & Kmail on the
ribbon bar and when I closed Kcontact Kmail did not fall over as it has in
the recent 4 or so days.

Because of this I would like to ask for this bug to be closed, Unless i have
hit upon a flaw in how Kcontact runs with Kmail when Kmail is running and
then Kcontact is started.

many thanks for the reply Bjorn.

Dave.
