This can be cause when KMail's index files get out of sync with the actual mbox files or maildir directories, e.g. when changing them from a different application. The index files are basically caching the mail headers so KMail doesn't have to read potentially hundrets of megabyte mails on startup or folder change. You could try (after probably making a backup of your mail directory) to delete all .index files (while KMail is not running) and have KMail rebuild them. hth, Kevin
