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

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.
Thanks Peter -- I will keep that in my Admin notebook for The Next Time. The problem wasn't all that annoying for me since (a) it only happened in my SLE mailbox and (b) its about time for that box to be rolled off into archive-land -- let the problem sink into a tar(1)-pit. Thanks, --Gregory
