[Bug 327236] Re: kmail fails if ~/.kde4 unavailable

2009-02-21 Thread Tony Green
It was from an upgrade as Jonathan suggested. Not QUITE bug 272378 but evidently related. It was actually because ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc had a line in it saying: folders[$e]=$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail Correcting that line solved the problem. Looks like another migration problem then.
