You used to be + able to set a prefix for your mailboxes (most commonly INBOX. for + courier-imap and cyrus-imapd servers) that would tell KMail where to look + for mail folders. In KDE 3.5, KMail now handles both personal and shared + namespaces. It no longer strips the namespace from the beginning of the + folder path, though, so some users will see that all of their folders are + now subfolders of the inbox. + + Due to this change, KMail may get confused when it starts after upgrading + and crash. We don't have a solution to the bug at this time, but there is + a workaround that doesn't result in any dataloss. + + The folder $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ holds cached copies of all + the mail headers in your imap account. Deleting everything in this folder + (rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/*) allows KMail to startup. KMail + will need to redownload all the mail headers, but it would need to do so + anyway since it thinks the mail folders appearing under the inbox are + different folders. + + In some cases even this workaround has not been enough. If KMail still + behaves strangely for you after doing this, you may need to move KMail's + configuration file out of the way in addition to removing its IMAP cache. + To do this, "mv ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc + ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.bak". After doing this, KMail should behave + better, but you will need to reconfigure all of your accounts. + + -- Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:48:33 -0500 -- cgit v1.2.3
