Bug#315392: metoo: workaround by removing Mail; caused by kmail version change
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.2-3
Followup-For: Bug #315392
I've had this problem several times, too. My workaround
was to remove ~/Mail altogether; in that case, kmail was able
to successfully recreate it. Since all I have in ~/Mail are
folders that correspond to remote IMAP folders, I lost no data.
In every case where I had the problem manifest itself, it happened
when I used the same account (NFS-mounted) from another
machine with a different version of kmail, and then got back.
E.g., when I got back to this debian kmail after using the gentoo's
higher version (3.4)
