While KMail is not running, remove the .drafts.index file from the mail directory and then restart KMail. Does this help? > 4.

I think 0600 is the correct one, though I also have one with 0644. My guess is that this folder has been created at a time where there has probably been a bug in kdelibs or somewhere else which resulted in those access flags. Cheers, Kevin
