[Gnumed-devel] My Kmail has crapped itself

[richard terry]

Considering it contains mega amounts and years of emails (backed up) 
this is disconcerting.

My fault in that I accidentally turned the power key in my hard drive 
caddie whilst the machine was running, so I guess that killed something.

So I'm using thunderbird to send this:

Error message

address@hidden:~/Desktop$ kmail
> QGArray::at: Absolute index 0 out of range
> ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed.

- Kmail still runs as root
- Deleting my ~/Mail directory allows Kmail to re-create a new set of mail 
boxes and runs ok as user richard
- Fiddling with the config files in ~.kde/....... kmail/... does nothing

I've thought of running another mail program - importing the kmail stuff, then 
exporting to a new instance of kmail but can't find any obvious import filters 
for kmail.

Any idea's appreciated.
