Does anybody have a suggestion, please? I've been using SuSE 8.0 and KDE3 and KMail for a year. This morning, I booted after the weekend, got into KDE 3.0.4 with no problems, and then tried to start KMail. After some effort, the system responds with the you've-got-a problem dialog, saying that KMail has failed with signal 11 SIGSEGV. I clicked the "Backtrace" tab, but all it says is "No symbols found". So, I logged out and restarted X, and logged in again. Same symptoms. So, I shutdown and rebooted. Same symptoms. So, I ran YOU, which reported that the most recent update had been 17 days ago. After the YOU run, I tried KMail again. Same symptoms. I re-installed kdenetworks and related pkgs, and then ran YOU again. Same symptoms (including after restarting X again). What should I be doing, now? I'm writing this from Outlook (with 549 items in my inbox), and I really kinda need to get KMail going again. I searched the list archives back to (and including) August, but nothing seemed to apply. To re-iterate, everything has been working for months with no problem, right up until Friday at 17h30. This morning... suddenly a problem. If anybody is keeping score, this is my office system. I have never run apt-get on this system. Only YOU. Hints? Suggestions? Some suggested reading? Naturally, this is a deadline week at work, and I've already blown all of Monday morning on this. Thank you. /kevin

~ maybe, you recently upgraded 2 kdelib3 packages ? If 'yes', then go back to the previous kdelib3 -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________

I haven't seen this in a while, but in the past kmail had a problem with its index files. every once in a while they would become corrupt and need regeneration. As I said I haven't seen that particular problem in a long while, but it could be worth a try. Try removing from your Mail folder (/home/<username>/Mail) all index files. these are files starting with a dot and containing the word index, such as .inbox.index. Those files contain information kmail uses to read large folders faster, and also information about which mails have been read. When you start kmail they will be regenerated, although unfortunately you'll lose information about which mails you've already read. No critical information will have been lost though. regards Anders
