Re: kmail crash

[Graham Smith <graham@crazysquirrel.com>]

Ok, I couldn't find out specifically what was wrong but hunting around I heard 
quite a few people mentioning corrupt index files being a problem. I moved 
the contents of ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap to another folder and tried 
kmail again (well kontact actually) and it worked.

Of course this leads to two questions: what went wrong and how can I stop it 
going wrong again?

I suppose there is a third as well: what can I do to help fix this exceedingly 
annoying bug? I'll file a bug report but it won't be much use as I have 
basically no information to go on.
