I've had the same problem as described above... but 'mv kmail kmail_old' doesn't fix the problem for me.
The error message I got when starting kmail from the konsole was: ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kmail kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x819d108 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "delete" kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x819d108 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "edit" kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x819d108 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "display_message" ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ KCrash: Application 'kmail' crashing... ----- I renamed the kmail directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps$ mv kmail kmail_backup (As it suggested this might help.) After, kmail started, recreated a the 'kmail' directory. However, the remote folder (after login to the email server) was called "1917657295". When I clicked on the remote folder I found that the messages were NOT all there; the message count on kmail is 866. When I access the email directly (through a web browser) -- https://my.utoronto.ca/scgi-bin/login.cgi the count in the inbox is 928. When I closed kmail I got "The KDE Crash Handler" window with the following: ----- Short description The application KMail (kmail) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV) What is this? An application mostly receives the SIGSEGV signal due to a bug in the application. The application was asked to save its documents. ----- After re-starting and shutdowning kmail a couple to times (to see if the shutdown crash was reproducible) kmail would not start anymore and gave me the same 'KDE Crash Handler' message as above. If I start kmail from konsole I get the following: ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/kmail$ kmail kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x8199d20 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "delete" kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x8199d20 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "edit" kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action. kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel( kacc = 0x8199d20 ): KAccel object already contains an action name "display_message" ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed.

'mv kmail kmail_old' is a very temporary fix and not workable in my opinion. The reoccurance of the error after deleting the 'kmail' directory suggests the bug/problem may be at program start-up & shutdown and is possibly related to a configuration file of some sort. ======================================== System/Hardware ======================================== Toshiba Satellite A20 -- A20-31Q: 2.53GHz (PSA20C-0231Q) Processor: Intel Pentium IV, 2.53GHz Memory: 512 MB Branch: testing (Etch) Install log: http://individual.utoronto.ca/bonert/debian_install.html ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kmail --version Qt: 3.3.6 KDE: 3.5.2 KMail: 1.9.1 ----- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ more /proc/version Linux version 2.6.11-1-686 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-6)) #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 -- Bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten sparen: GMX SmartSurfer!
