I upgraded KDE (to version 3.5.3)-- the bug is still there. If it were me... I'd classified this bug as 'grave'. As is, the package is unusable at *any* level of functionality.
----- Any case, I set to work on this myself and found a work around: It amounts to three lines: ============================= $ cd ~/.kde/share/config $ mv kmailrc kmailrc_OLD $ mv kmail.eventsrc kmail.eventsrc_OLD ============================= The above effectively deletes the configuration files for KMail. When one re-starts KMail-- the files are re-created and one has to re-enter all the config information (yes-- pain in the gluteus maximus). It looks like the KMail developers changed the config file formating and were sloppy when it came to transitioning between config file versions.
