Application: kontact (4.4.2)
KDE Platform Version: 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2)
Qt Version: 4.6.2
Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-19-generic x86_64
Distribution: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)

-- Information about the crash:
I am using the ubuntu 10.04 version of kontact. When I start Kontact I see the akonadi server starting and after that kontact grabs one CPU at 100% and the window doesn't appear. It's still reacting on simple kills (Signal 15)...

The problem the problem started with another symptom, suddenly after a reboot kontact could not connect to the imap servers, because the imap(-s) kio slaves died all the time. Then I removed my KDE directory and reconfigured kontact. After I have configured the kolab server settings via kolabwizard I ended up with the above behavior even on the old  version...

It's strange i can't get kontact to give me a decent log so I can track down what's happening

The crash can be reproduced every time.
