Ever since upgrading from Fedora 6 to Fedora 8, kmail has been crashing a lot.
It runs fine for some time, but after a while when opening a folder or
subfolder, I get an error popup of the type:
Error opening /home/myhome/Mail/sent-mail/cur; either this is not a valid
maildir folder, or you do not have
sufficient access permissions.
Followed by this popup window:
KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Could
not sync maildir folder.
And then KMail crashes. The sent-mail directory is an example, it happens with
other directories too. The nasty thing is that the directory involved in the
crash is rendered inaccessible. This is for instance what I get in konsole when
running ls on an offending directory:
myloginname mycomputer:~$ ls -l Mail/Conferences/
ls: cannot access Mail/Conferences/cur: No such file or directory
total 8
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? cur
drwx------ 2 myloginname slocate 4096 2005-08-16 15:36 new
drwx------ 2 myloginname slocate 4096 2008-04-25 12:13 tmp
In some cases, I can cd into the directory and then it's back to normal again,
in several recent cases the damage was permanent, and I needed to restore it
from backup. One possible cause for this could be that my home directory is
located on a remote NFS server, though I have no idea why this should be. I'm
using kmail 1.9.9 in kontact 1.2.9, with kde 3.5.9-5.fc8 on Fedora 8, with
kernel 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 . This is pretty bad for me, luckily I've backed up Mail/
