Re: KMail 3.5.1-1 crashes when retrieving new maessages

[Graham Smith <graham@crazysquirrel.com>]

I've been experiencing similar bad behaviour from kmail recently. I've been 
unable to track it down but it seems to have something to do with IMAP and 
corrupt index files. I think occasionally a bad mail is able to cause kmail 
to corrupt it's index although I've been unable to reproduce the problem. 
Sometimes opening the account with thunderbird and moving main in the inbox 
into another folder fixes the problem. most of the time I have to delete the 
cache files though and rebuild them (which is a real pain in the neck).

Please share a solution if you find one.
