Bob, I've seen similar issues in the past when the indexes have become corrupted. This was much more prevalent in the older kmail releases. You can try the following: Shut down kmail or kontact. cd ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail (or to the top level mail directory if it's located else where) find . -name .\*.index\* -exec rm {} \; restart kmail or kontact. This will remove all of the index files and allow kmail to rebuild your indexes. Be sure to give kmail a chance to rebuild all of the indexes cleanly after starting the app. I have not seen this issues after getting 3.5.7 cleaned up one time.

Hello SuSE people,
About the 1st of September I upgraded my KDE to 3.5.7 on 10.2
After it installed Kmail would crash with a sigserv when I tried to open it. Had to back out to my old KDE on the disk. Wrote to the list. Kevin Krammer (hope I got the name right) from KDE replied there was a problem with Kontact and the kdepim3 rpm effecting Kmail. It was being fixed as he wrote.
Waited a few days and reinstalled the newer KDE upgrades with SMART. Same thing happened again. Kmail and Kontact would crash on opening them. Only this time I checked a little further and the two other users did not have the problem. But, I did have to back out again to be able to use Kmail myself.
While in the upgraded state, I compared my .kde files with the other users. There was one significant difference. They each had a Mail directory in their individual Home partitions which contained their mail directories. While mine did not. Mine was in .kde/share/apps/kmail. Now, I have a great deal of mail about half in directories and about half in mailbox format. Most of the mailbox stuff is pretty old but valuable to me.
Is it possible that this difference I pointed out is the problem? Also, is it possible to convert those mailboxes to directories without doing it one by one?
Sure would like to upgrade. Any help or ideas will sure be appreciated.
