It appears that I have lost messages during the crashes - an important one
that I was waiting for shows in maillog as received this morning, just about
the time of the first crash.
I normally save all mail, outgoing as well as incoming, on the server, but I
noticed that the local sent-mail had a dozen or so messages, and sure enough
they were from today. Selecting a message caused it to disappear, with No
Subject and the January 1970 date. I deleted the index files for sent-mail,
but sent-mail is now empty.
I'm getting very worried. KMail has always been so reliable for me, and I
just don't know where to look to find the problem.

The local sent-mail? Is ~/Mail/sent-mail a file or a folder? If it's a
file, is it an empty file (0 bytes)? If it's a folder is
~/Mail/sent-mail/cur/ empty?

~/ is a folder and did contain the
messages in question. I deleted .sent-mail.index and .sent-mail.index.ids
and restarted kmail, after which no messages were visible.

Serves me right - I normally rename rather than delete, so that things are
recoverable :-(

I' using Kaddressbook 3.5, as installed with Kontact, etc fro SuSE 10.1

I'm still occasionally finding that all the contacts in my kaddressbook
contact list have disappeared. Upon investigation, I find the std.vcf file is
blank. I then have to figure out which of the std.vcf_1 to std.vcf_7 files is
the most current, and rename it to std.vcf after deleting the blank std.vcf.

Then everything works again. What I can't figure out is how to report this bug
to the kde pim website. I've registered, login, go to report bug, and I get a
screen that tells me kdepi does not use malone, whatever malone is, but I'm
unable to go any further.

I know it's not a new bug, but I don't see it listed anywhere as a bug that
anyone is looking at, either. It's been doing this as long ago as SuSE 9.3's
install version of KDE PIM.

Any suggestions?

Bob.

What KDE version? I don't think this was fixed until KDE 3.5.2.
Sorry, I don' t know how to map SuSE versions to KDE versions.

10.1 uses KDE 3.5.1.

If you find a way to reproduce the problem reliably then tell us how.
, you'll have to live with it for the time being, i.e. until
KDE 4 is out. I hope it doesn't happen too frequently. TH, if it
happens quite often then you should be able to find a pattern.

I haven't seen any pattern, but I've had discussions with other people (here)
when it's happened to them. It happened twice in the past month, but the
difficulty is that unless you're looking up a contact, you might not notice
it for days.

Ingo

KDE Level 3.5.1, level "a".
