I love kmail but I'm really starting to get frustrated. Every once in awhile Kmail will magically mark all the mail in certain folders as NEW.

Yeah meant to but I got sidetracked. SuSE8.1pro, 2.4.19-115, (newest stable SuSE kernel) self compiled w/ win4lin patches. ----------snip---------------
After I upgraded (well, it was a complete fresh install) to 8.1, I got back to KMail, and there have been no problems with it, at all. I did have some nasty X problems (47 crashes in three months),
Wow, you had the forsight to count them. Upon my first install of 8.1 on this machine everything was great. Then while troubleshooting some DMA problems I put both of my hard drives on the first IDE cable (they had both been on their own cables previously). I went from quite stable to 6 or 7 crashes a day until it totally corrupted my filesystem. I have no Idea how many reboots I did in 2 weeks but alot of them were so stuffed I had to shut the machine off at the power supply :-0 (miracullasly my winders98, qnx, amithlon and 3 beos partitions survived unharmed, only the linux filesystems were toasted) Turns out the kernel that was supplied on the SuSE disks doesn't recognize the (via) southbridge on the kt333 chipset (msi KT3Ultra2), the newer kernel fixes this (although I've also got my drives back on 2 seperate cables) Curiously - when I reinstalled, I copied my backed up mail folder to my ~/ directory and all the messages were there as expected but 800 messages in my suse-linux-english [SLE] folder had been marked as new :-( Anyway, I'm thinking there must be a way to repair the mail index's (w/out deleting each one individually) One other note, the most recent miss-indexing of my mail folders occured during heavy disk access and cpu usage (tar'ing and moving files from one machine to another, (getting ready to do a clean install on my old computer) don't know if this means anything or not. Thanks for your info. Anyone else want to take a stab? -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
