Bug 114118 – KMail 1.9 (KDE 3.5) crashes all the time when using IMAP

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Craig Bradney 2005-12-01 02:15:35 UTC]

I havent built KDE 3.5 etc with debug, but the above URL looks to be close to  
what I'm seeing. Submitting this bug so this one gets followed in Gentoo too  
(although I do realise you are following the KDE development, but better to  
have it closed than not fixed).  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do anything in kmail 1.9 and it will tend to crash like: 
2. Run filtering 
3. Move mail around 
4. Check mail 
 
Actual Results:  
Crash Crash Crash :S, however, I have decided to move more mail to my local 
Courier IMAP server so I can temporarily read mail in Thunderbird. Moving a 
14000 mail folder was crashing at 1-3%. Turning off auto mail checking has let 
it get to (currently) 99%.. with this being true, I decided to submit this as 
it does seem related to the KDE bug.

kde-base/kdepim-kioslaves debug 
kde-base/kmail debug 
kde-base/kontact debug 
kde-base/libkdepim debug 
kde-base/libkpimidentities debug 
kde-base/kdelibs doc debug 
 
I have those set but I still can't get a decent trace. Any ideas?

FEATURES="nostrip" so that debugging symbols are retained, you probably want to 
have kdelibs with debug and nostrip too. Run kmail from a shell and you will 
see extra debug information there too. There seem to be quite a few issues 
upstream with kmail/kontact crashing - I have made several comments on an 
upstream bug related to kmail crashing, corrupting the IMAP cache and then 
crashing every time until the IMAP cache is deleted. Seems improved in the 
final release but it is still present.

Ok, when I remove the clamav and spamassassin filters it seems to run ok. 
Putting the spamd or spamassassin via perl back brings back the crash. 

[Comment 5 Craig Bradney 2005-12-02 08:07:03 UTC]

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113730 is more the deal, I think, as 
discovered when chatting to some kmail devs last night. 

[Comment 6 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-12-05 08:46:57 UTC]

Patch added to kdepim-3.5.0-r1/kmail-3.5.0-r1. 

[Comment 7 Craig Bradney 2005-12-05 12:47:15 UTC]

Thanks very much! and to the KDE guys too of course. 

[Comment 8 Craig Bradney 2005-12-05 13:45:57 UTC]

Ok, I have another crash when using Control-J to filter on a known spam mail. 
Finding it hard to get a good trace, do u want another bug for it?
