Hmm, looks like you mistyped the rm command? It should be
rm ~/Mail/.*.index*
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no blank character here!
Furthermore, the command should be run as the user operating Kmail, not
as root. Otherwise you will remove the index files in the mail directory
of root, not the files in the user's mail directory.
