I'm using TW from two or three days ago. I right clicked on an email and chose "edit" from the context menu and kmail blew up! Now it won't even start (or Kontact either). When I try to start it I just get a notice that it closed unexpectedly and to report the bug (which itself doesn't work). Anybody know where the information is located that keeps Kontact/Kmail from starting? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

hello, I guess you are new to linux, no problem, but your text is not very understandable, let's try * "I right clicked on an email" to right clic on an email, you have to use some software. I guess you use a webmail with Firefox, right? or try to email a photo or a text from the image or text processor? * did you look on an other desktop to see if your program (kmail, kontact) is not waiting there? How do you try to start it? jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
First, my apologies if the original message got to the list 3 times. Gmail is showing it 3 times because it took me a while to remember to kill html in gmail. I'm getting ready to go on vacation where data will be limited so I don't want to use gmail. I am trying kmail (forwarding gmail IMAP) to see if it will work while I'm gone. I was reading mail in kmail and was looking for a simple way to display it in html since I had a mail from a reliable source that has pictures attached. In the process I right clicked the email hoping to find a menu item (on the context menu) that would display the email in html so I could see the pictures attached. I clicked "edit" (on the context menu -- out of curiosity to see what it would "edit") and kmail blew up (i.e. terminated itself, Kontact, Konversation, etc.) and now none of them will start when I click their icons. I just get the notification that it closed unexpectedly and to file a bug report (but that itself fails to install the packages required to produce useful information). There is obviously something set somewhere that tells Kontact/Kmail not to start. I would like to delete that and see what happens. I was running 20171026 at the time. I updated to 20171027 this a.m. but the problem persists. I have searched my home directory for any file that might have the information to prevent Kontact from starting but to no avail so far. Hope this is a better description of my angst.

Thanks for the info Patrick. Actually, I got it started quite by accident. I went to: /home/chuck/.local/share/kmail2/autosave/. I found about 20 copies of the subject email. I deleted them all and then Kontact (and all related apps) decided to run. I'm a happy camper again. Keeping your suggestion for future possible "events".....

it should :-)

txt mode do not prevent uploading pictures, at most not display it online

two things. * it is often useful to start the app in a terminal to see what is displayed as error messages. Open system/konsole, type kmail and enter and report here what you see * the config seems to be in ~/.config/akonadi, you can rename the folder and launch again kmail jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Rather than battle with KMail, why not use Thunderbird. I'd also not that you don't need HTML to view attachments. Just save them (I save them in /tmp when I need to) and use one of the many image viewers.

May I suggest you try Thunderbird? It works reliably and can work with html mail just fine (both read and write). And can connect to gmail perfectly. Gmail may refuse to allow you to connect if you connect from another location or ISP, and ask you to login on web to say "yes, it was me". It will send an alert to the configured security email address (best if not another gmail address, which may fail as well). - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
