Depending on which version of KDE you have, you may have a Save Session in your kickoff menu. If I were you I'd try to make sure that everything was shut down, then do a Save Session. If you actually want some things to start up automatically you can add them later, but at least you'd be starting from a clean sheet. I do recall that in some early version of KDE 4.x I did have Kontact starting up automatically even though I didn't want it to, but at that point Save Session wasn't an option. > 2.

If that is so you are hitting a bug in the KMail application that causes it to search over-zealously for address matches. This wasn't realised as being the problem until about 2 weeks ago. Updating to 4.4 should cure it. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
