Suddenly Kmail just vanishes of the window with the following information: KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Message could not be added to the folder, possibly disk space is low. My /home is not really empty but with still 35% to fill cannot imagine a folder of a such a big size . Ideas? Kmail runs on 9.3 with Kde 3.5. No updates of late. Only security patches.

I've had a couple emails that will choke kmail lately. Sometimes simply restarting kmail will do, other times its more difficult. I attributed it to running a slightly old kmail. I've had to go in with a text editor and manually hack my mbox to remove the offending mail. Its always been a virus, or an image or large binary of some form. I carefully just delete the offending item and save the mbox and it works fine. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Next time can you please file a BR at bugzilla.novell.com with the entire offending mail, headers and all attached, and assigned to me? I will carefully delete the bug out of the source code. I just fixed one of these (imap specific, so not your problem), given a mail that reproducibly crashes KMail, these bugs are relatively easy to fix. Will

I've had some luck solving crashes like that by deleting the various *.index files under ~/Mail KMail rebuilds them when it finds them missing. Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.11-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)

Will start cleaning out the *.index files. Sounds okay. Also found a "run away" file with the name .X.err of 379.952K with something that went wrong yesterday. Have deleted it but think I should have had a look into it first.
