Dear List,
KMail on SuSE 8.0 is eating my email! When I open KMail, it displays a line per email that is in my in-box; the line lists "Subject" "Sender" etc. But when I click on a line it changes to "No Subject" and the content window below is empty!! I don't want to loose valuable emails; what can I do?
Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there another more reliable email client?

Hi Peter, By any chance is kmail sharing the mbox with Pine (a command line email client)? The only time I've ever seen behavior like this is when I would archive my old email. I'd run pine, make a folder and archive old emails into that folder. Upon opening kmail, I'd find many emails displaying the symptoms you describe. In my case, they just had to be deleted as they seemed to be phantoms of emails and not the originals. I'd check to see if pine or mutt or another console email client is sharing the Mail folder with kmail which is usually ~/Mail Kmail has been very dependable for me. Ken
