Dear Gregory, On the 19th of Nov, I replied to the list how to eliminate the KMail errors as was told to the list months before by an experianced KDE'er Here it is again: You may have had a sys hang or power glitch. On my systems when this happens KMail gets confused and its index files get mixed up. 1. Shutdown KMail 2.Go to your {home} directory then to the "Mail" directory, note upper case M, and delete the files there that end in .index; there are probably several. ex. mine has a .inbox.index file. Caution: If you use Konqi of other GUI File Mgr you may need to enable "Show hidden files" since the index files are normally hidden (they start with a dot ). 3. Restart KMail PeterB.

Hello SuSE people
What in h--- is going on. K mail is crashing when I try to delete messages from a folder. Signal 11 SIGSERV which brings up the bug
[...]
Whatever it was, it only affected the SLE folder. The SLE folder still had one email unread even though all messages were marked as
Same here. What I did was to go to $KDEHOME/Mail, and remove the sle-folder.index* file. Then, I was able delete the mails.

Very odd. Seems like a whole lot of us have had the same problem. This is the second time i have this problem.
And also, after a powerout several mails got a freaky date stamp, and as i deleted them one by one, the next folowing mail got the same datestamp and went hay-wire.. (1970-xx-xx)
The sollution? To simply erase the files in the /cur directory for that list.
It's not just the delete command that's being affected. "Mark All Messages As Read" is also causing the crash.
