Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2012-05-09 12:12:28 UTC
what do you do before it ?
Removed folder ? etc.
Comment 3 K. A. Sayeed 2012-05-18 02:28:07 UTC
I did nothing unusual before it. I did not delete, move, or create a folder
before clicking on a folder with the mouse. I just clicked the mouse
randomly on a folder in Kmail and it results in an error message. I did it
just now to verify it before I responded to your query by clicking on
various folders. The error message is displayed for each click on a
different folder.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
