Kmail will not start up and gives an error.
Last Sunday kmail stuck in searching mails in a map. So I asked that window to close the kmail application. With success. But after restarting kmail, I got an error that Kmail couldn't make the map $HOME/Mail. Off course that map is present and contains the existing mails. The same error exists on all other users. What could be wrong? Henk

Hi Henk - I assume with 'map' you mean folder or directory. If so, my answer below to another posting might help: I had the same after going to 3.4beta and then back again to 3.3. Somehow kmail did not know the $HOME environment variable anymore - or the config file was changed and $HOME was inserted. I solved it by substituting '$HOME' in .kde/share/config/kmailrc with the explicit path to the home directory. This may also help in your case. Maybe there is a better way to solve it by making kmail aware of the environment variables, but I haven't found it... Maybe it is possible to change this in a central setting for all users on your machine, but I don't know where (maybe some file in <your KDEDIR>/share/config). If this is not possible you would have to do it for all users...
