Package: kmail Version: 4:3.5.1-1 Severity: important
KMail crashed when clearing several thousand messages from the local Trash maildir folder. I haven't able to start KMail since the crash, since it freezes and eats 100% CPU on startup. I narrowed down this in time: KMail indexes maildir folders (index files are regenerated if deleted), then eats 100% CPU before displaying it's main window. No disk activity during the freeze. The kmail process can be killed with normal SIGTERM: killall kmail I narrowed down this further. I've backed up my maildir folder and ~/.kde, then deleted the contents of my mailbox. KMail regenerated the default maildir structure, then freezed up. Then the maildir is restored and the ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail folder is deleted. KMail freezes again regardless of the deleted configuration files. After deleting ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc it did not freeze again, just started to reconfigure itself and asked the usual user-specific post-installation questions. I guess kmail is freezing due to an unusal value/syntax in it's kmailrc. I'm going to attach my kmailrc to this bug as additional information after submiting this report.
