To re-iterate, everything has been working for months with no problem, right up until Friday at 17h30. This morning... suddenly a problem.
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
