After closing I cannot start KMail anymore. I'll try to edit config by hand I report here if anything is related. The crash can be reproduced every time. -- Backtrace: Application: KMail (kmail), signal: Segmentation fault [KCrash Handler] #6 QBasicAtomicInt::ref (this=0x962ecf4, other=...) at src/corelib/arch/qatomic_i386.h:120 #7 QString::operator= (this=0x962ecf4, other=...) at tools/qstring.cpp:1280 #8 0xb6c5f67b in KMFilterActionAddTag::argsFromString (this=0x962ece8, argsStr=...) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/kmfilteraction.cpp:941 #9 0xb6c7fb2d in KMFilter::readConfig (this=0x9880c80, config=...) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/kmfilter.cpp:295 #10 0xb6c80f89 in KMFilter (this=0x9880c80, aConfig=..., popFilter=false) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/kmfilter.cpp:67 #11 0xb6c592e0 in KMail::FilterImporterExporter::readFiltersFromConfig (config=..., bPopFilter=false) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/filterimporterexporter.cpp:114 #12 0xb6c577ec in KMFilterMgr::readConfig (this=0x98d37a8) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/kmfiltermgr.cpp:74 #13 0xb6d2e933 in KMKernel::init (this=0xbff202b8) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/kmkernel.cpp:1543 #14 0x0804ae52 in main (argc=3, argv=0xbff20544) at /usr/src/debug/kde-base/kmail-4.4.2/kmail-4.4.2/kmail/main.cpp:131 Reported using DrKonqi
It looks like some settings got lost on exit (including message tags). Crash was caused by filters containing reference to tag, like: action-args-0=xyz action-name-0=add tag after removing such lines from kmailrc kmail started (reporting lack of action).

Thank you for your report. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained and the code has changed sufficiently in Kmail2 so the backtraces are not really useful anymore. Should you experience the same crash in Kmail 4.8.5 or later, please open a new report for Kmail2. Thank you for your understanding
