Details

Description:
kmail does not show messages sometimes, and crashes when trying to (re)move them to trash or other folders in certain conditions. It only happens sometimes, but when it happens in one folder, one can reproduce it very easily. see this bugreport on kdemod: http://kdemod.ath.cx/bugs/showreport.php?bugid=79
after randomly having met another guy on irc on #kde that said he get the same bug and does not use kdemod, i closed the report there and repopened here.
note: i set severity to high, as i'm unsure about whether it can be used to attack someone using a prepared email.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kde 3.5.8
* config and/or log files etc.
------

Steps to reproduce:
please see above

I've the same problem, sometimes. Kmail (kontact) is very buggy and unstable :(

does this bug happen with official kde package too? (and not only kdemodded)
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Tuesday, 18 March 2008, 04:50 GMT-4
I cannot reproduce this error. Can you describe those "certain conditions"? And as Roman mentioned: Please try KDE 3.5.9 from [extra]. We could not really help if you are using kdemod 3.5.8.

Okay, I am the guy from irc ;-) I have the same problem here but I am using the kde-packages from extra and the stable version there is 3.5.9.

There is a comment in the kdemod-bugrerport that the problem is not a kmail-problem. I think, this could be right because of the completely different packages (extra-re vs. kdemod, 3.5.8 vs. 3.5.9), maybe it is a change of something else? If I remember correctly, the errors occurd a bit AFTER I installed kde 3.5.9 or maybe SINCE I installed kde 3.5.9, can't say for sure.

2 more interesting informations: I couldn't find a bug at kde.org and if I move the "broken" mail within my webmail to "drafts", etc. kmail shows the body again. When I am using webmail, the "broken" mails are okay.
