The two major issues now are: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180741 This turns out to be 100% repeatable. Every day I receive a logwatch report which gets filed into a certain mail list, and when I try to delete it kmail crashes. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178220 Every time I start korganizer, I get 4 of these crash reports. Also, any time I try to accept a ical invite message. Also, whenever bug 180741 fires, I get 4 of these crash reports. (Interesting, no?) I could even live with a workaround, clearing out my akonadi related stuff, but I don't know how to do that. The assumption here is that somewhere in the course of fooling around with my akonadi resource stuff I hosed up some database and that is causing the crashes.
