I don't use Kmail but usually in similar situations with other MUAs the quickest fix is to: 1) Exit the MUA (making sure all instances are gone) 2) Look for the folder index file(s) 3) Remove them 4) Restart the MUA The MUA should reconstruct the index from the raw data. Make backups before you do all this of course. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
