Yep... That's the one.
Recent updates to kdelib and kdepim did not fix the problem :(

I'd really like to feel confident that at some time in the near future
all the KMail bugs will be dealt with, and KMail will just work
like any other program.
At the moment it seems to have accumulated more bugs
than all other KDE programs put together.
On the face of it, it doesn't appear to me that the task of KMail
should be particularly onerous.
Do other similar mail programs encounter this number of problems?

I think KMail is having growing pains right now, due to all the
massive changes that have been going on. Plus I think that KDE itself
is having some growing pains as well.

yep .... after 8 major revisions kde and kmail are having growing pains....
Find that statement kinda ironic.

I gave up on Kmail a long time ago and now mainly use Evolution. Evo is
not without its problems -- I've even reported several of them -- but my
impression is that that it's now a lot more stable than Kmail.
IMHO people should use what works for them and should create their
"Desktop Environment". Evo works for me, except for a lingering
annoyance related to keyrings which isn't a big deal. And I often tell
Gnome fans to use K3b for burning optical media. I can't quite buy into
the idea that a DE has to have its own mail client, its own browser, its
own word processor etc, and with the major DEs available now there is
plenty of choice.
