I seem to have solved the problem. Based on the above comment, I did: rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/*
but that had no effect. I then did: rm ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/.780618247.directory and things started working again. I expect the number will be different for everyone, but essentially the directory held a copy of all of the files that were on imap. I can now postulate that by deleting files on the imap server (see my post above), and quiting kmail before everything had been updated, there was an inconsistency in the local version of the imap server(?). If it is obvious that i don't know what I am talking about - its true - I don't! However, that is what it seems like! Everything, including the proper imap directory works now. -- KMail crashed when starting up https://launchpad.net/bugs/36981 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
