--- Comment #52 from Knut Hildebrandt <[email protected]> --- Problem solved! After playing back various old databases and (only) deleting "~/.local/share/local-mail/trash", what both did not help, I eventually renamed "~/.local/share/local-mail" and "~/.local/share/.local-mail.directory" and restarted Akonadi - it might be, that I had stopped it before renaming and only started it after - and Kmail started without crashing. Both directories were recreated but empty. Having a closer look at the local-mail I noticed that the old version had next to the usual sub-folders cur, new and tmp some called trash, inbox, drafts etc. - named after the subfolders of the mailbox - whereas the new one did not hold any of these. Giving it a second thought I remembered that the latter folders should reside in .local-mail.directory and thus deleted them. After that Kmail started without any complaint. Now it's clear why only deleting trash did not help, since all of the wrongly placed folders caused the crash. For me two things got clear. This is not one bug but a bunch of bugs that cause the same effect. And Akonadi needs a thorough rework, since it is full of bugs like this which arbitrarily can get activated after installing a new version, what happened various times to me. Please let the status of the bug report REPORTED and ideally split it into various due to it's causes. Now it only focuses on the effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
