Your kmailrc is most likely damaged. ext3 (and very recent reiserfs) have a data sync mode where they make sure that the data is always in sync but specially reiserfs is known to damage files on a system crash. That's the price for the high performance I'm afraid. kmail was very likely about to write some data and then it wasn't in sync when your system crash. kmail developers thought about keeping filters and account infos away from the rest which would reduce this data loss from happen but it wouldn't make it impossible ;( Greetings Stephan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8vGZfwFSBhlBjoJYRAuPFAJ9XT7Y18RqvdEhpWr+ciKuVVRsYmwCeLvUu RBDNP5IxxHqbYBPOkueYUkI= =9WBi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
