Then delete the index files:

Hi Nils When I try this (root) , I get, cannot remove ~/Mail. Is a directory. rm: cannot remove `.*.index*': No such file or directory
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.
Thanks for your help Nils. I actually reinstalled Kmail and it is working allright now. /bill
