On my SuSE9.0 with KDE 3.2.1, suddenly Kmail began to die i.e., go away suddenly, without warning while reading mail. I would restart it and look at one or two emails then it would simply go away. I had not made any changes to the system in several days. Finally, upon starting Kmail, it would come up, display the mail folders, and the list of mail but the message viewing section would be blank. Clicking on either the folders or the messages got no response. After a few seconds, 5-10 seconds, Kmail shuts down. I have tried deleting the index files in the ~/home/Mail folder and that got me nothing. I have tried reinstalling kdeaddons-kontact to no avail. Fortunately installing Mozilla Thunderbird got me back on but I need/want to use Kmail. Any suggestions? TIA, Richard
