Bob,

I've seen similar issues in the past when the indexes have become corrupted. 
This was much more prevalent in the older kmail releases. You can try the 
following:

Shut down kmail or kontact.

cd ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail (or to the top level mail directory if it's 
located else where)

find . -name .\*.index\* -exec rm {} \;

restart kmail or kontact.

This will  remove all of the index files and allow kmail to rebuild your 
indexes. Be sure to give kmail a chance to rebuild all of the indexes cleanly 
after starting the app.

I have not seen this issues after getting 3.5.7 cleaned up one time.

Regards,

Terry
