Package: kmail Version: 4:3.3.2-3 Followup-For: Bug #315392 I've had this problem several times, too. My workaround was to remove ~/Mail altogether; in that case, kmail was able to successfully recreate it. Since all I have in ~/Mail are folders that correspond to remote IMAP folders, I lost no data.
In every case where I had the problem manifest itself, it happened when I used the same account (NFS-mounted) from another machine with a different version of kmail, and then got back. E.g., when I got back to this debian kmail after using the gentoo's higher version (3.4) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (400, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Versions of packages kmail depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.3.2-6.2 KDE core libraries ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkcal2a 4:3.3.2-3 KDE calendaring library ii libkdenetwork2 4:3.3.2-3 KDE Network library ii libkdepim1 4:3.3.2-3 KDE PIM library ii libkleopatra0a 4:3.3.2-3 KDE GnuPG interface libraries ii libkpimidentities1 4:3.3.2-3 KDE PIM user identity information ii libksieve0 4:3.3.2-3 KDE mail/news message filtering li ii libmimelib1a 4:3.3.2-3 KDE mime library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.4-3 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
