If I'd seen your message first, it would have saved me some trouble, but in
the end, all came out well. I simply deleted that folder, and everything
returned to normal.
When I did that, I thought I'd be getting rid of configuration data, not mail,
my address book, etc. I used KMail in KDE3 sessions as well, so it didn't
occur to me that it would all be stored in ~.kde4.
However, on this machine that's not a problem. I just use it to read mail,
not store it. I can replace the address book from another machine, and the
received messages are stored elsewhere as well. I just needed to recreate
filter definitions and reapply some folder properties.
So deleting that folder was a fairly good solution - in MY case. Others would
do well to take a more cautious approach, such as you recommended.
