Dear Malcolm, 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 Let us know how it works ................... PeterB p.s. my dir is /home/peterb/Mail On Tuesday 19 November 2002 10:51 am, malcolm wrote:
I noticed a couple of messages as I was deleting some messages in my SLE folder. Subject = No subject Sender = Unknown Date (Order of Arrival) = unknown
The first two I opened and they were totally empty.
I clicked on a message with the subject = Re: [SLE] Gnome/Gimp question.
I did not notice the sender or date.
As soon as I clicked on the message to open it, it changed to - No Subject, Unknown, unknown.
Other messages open normally.
There is one showing with the subject - Re: [SLE] Gnome/Gimp question. Sender - Graham Smith. Date - Yesterday 16:49:35
I will now try opening it!
Exactly the sake result, No Subject etc.
Just looked in the trash folder and there are four messages all dated yesterday and with the subject - Gnome/Gimp question All four are normal messages with sender, date, content etc.
Suse 8.1 KDE 3.0.4 Nothing exotic or unusual installed.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing, or have done, wrong.
Many Thanks,
Malcolm Leatherby
