Brian,
I managed to find a solution to my problem - it turned out to be a malformed message in my inbox. I had tried a fix suggested in another bug report, namely removing the kmailrc file. This worked once, then the problem came back after KMail recreated the kmailrc file. So I removed it again, and noticed that I couldn't touch my inbox without causing a crash. I also noticed that the default in the kmailrc file is to go the inbox on startup. So I cleaned out the inbox, and the problem disappeared.
Going on what you've written, it may be that there is either something screwed in your inbox, or a malformed mail waiting on your mail server that's crashing kmail whenever it tries to pull it down. I'd clear your inbox and try pulling any waiting mail with a different mail client.
On a different note, I also don't seem to have any help files, but I noticed that Alex Hansen's found the same thing at his end, so I guess we'll have to wait for a fix to materialise.

Thanks for the reply Benjamin,
I also found out that kontact crashes after I type in my password. I know that the 2 are closely entwined. Something really weird was happening with my e-mail last nite. The server kept sending the same message 142 times. I went to the server site and cleared out my mail and also from Apple's mail in hopes that this was the reason for the crashing. Same problem this morning tho.

Benjamin,
I got KDE3.2 installed and it sort of works. If you replied to my last messages please resend as I lost several messages after kmail crashed with a signal 6 message. It had been working, almost, today for the first time but now crashes immediately. I checked out kde.bugs but am not sure if Mac is supported. Anyway, here is the terminal (konsole) output after trying to start kmail. It prompts for my password and then WHAMO!
Please help if you can,
Many thanks,
Brian
PS -had to take a screen shot for lack of cut and paste. Oh yeah, OSX.2.6, XDarwin
I can only assume you've got some strange data in an e-mail that's making it barf. If you can figure out what e-mail it was reading at the time and send it, I can pass it on to the kmail folks, but I really don't know what to tell you other than perhaps wait for kde 3.2.2 and see if it gets any better.
