Your kmail index files are corrupted. You find these files in ~/Mail and they are starting with a "." Remove the files for the folders you are having problems with and they will be rebuild when launching kmail again. -- Richard Bos For those who have no home the journey is endless

I had this same problem with KMail 1.1.9 (I believe) with KDE 2.2.0, when I upgraded to KDE 2.2.1, KMail was updated to v. 1.3.1 and the problem was solved. It seemed to happen mostly with mail that was sent from a Micro$oft mail client. Some people said that deleting the index files in their mail folders cured the problem, but it never worked for me. I believe KMail is in the kdenetwork package, are you sure you've updated this one? David A. Riggs
im running KDE 2.2.1 with Kmail 1.3.1, did you download KDE 2.2.1? if so you might have forgot to get the Kdenetwork package that includes Kmail. -- David M.

Mark AIf you don't get this package problems usually arise when upgrading KDE and not this package.

I think the SuSE packages to upgrade to KDE 2.2.1 are brain damaged. I've not been reading mail with kmail, but I have used it to try and send mail, and it seg faults every time I try and send a mail with attachments. I noticed that the 'upgrade' packages didn't properly remove the previous KDE and QT packages either - they still show up in 'rpm -qa'. I assumed that 'rpm -Uvh' was the right thing to do, as there were no installation instructions from SuSE to say different. This has resulted in some KDE tools I've tried to compile manually, like kmsn and kmerlin, being confused over which QT version is on the system. Basicly they are uninstallable. Also the KDE login manager's fonts are now so small they are distorted and unreadable; and nothing I set in control center has any effect. So now I have a KDE and/or QT install in an inconstant state, and no real way to stablize it without removing all KDE and QT packages and reinstalling 2.1.2. And no I'm not interested in compiling from source - I want a system where the versions are tracked with rpm so that future OS upgrades work as they should. If anyone else reading this is thinking about moving to 2.2.1 my advise is to wait until 7.3 comes out in October and hope SuSE have got it right. To SuSE I say this .. half an upgrade, or a broken upgrade, is worse than no upgrade at all !!! And next time, please include a README with your rpm's. John On Mon, 1 Oct 2001, Mark Annandale wrote:

I upgraded using the 2.2.1 rpm's and rpm -qa only shows the new updates. The mail problem I had went away after upgrading the kdenetwork package. Sending mail from KMail is fine and quick. Not sure whats happened to your upgrade but mine is great and everything appears to work besides setting fonts to AA, I end up with just a line instead of any text, but for now I can live without it.

You should have read Lenz Grimmer's recent post. KDE 2.2.x is _not_ part of
the official upgrade route; it's available as a service to users and comes
with no guarantees. If you want stability stay with the official updates and
patches. In that sense, your advice about waiting is correct. ;-)

Mark, I had the exact same problem. Thanks to someone else's advice, i fixed it by doing the following. 1. Create a new top level folder. I called mine New In Kmail do Folder -> Create, calli t whatever you want and put it in top level 2. Configure Kmail to put all new mail in the new folder you just created In Kmail do Settings -> Configure Kmail -> Network -> Incoming Mail -> Modify, then for destination folder put in the new folder you just created. This worked for me. Mike On Monday 01 October 2001 05:41 pm, Mark Annandale wrote:
