Description of Problem: If kmail finds something that it doesn't understand in ~/Mail it crashes rather than giving an error message. This is especially annoying because one of the things that it doesn't understand is the contents of a ~/Mail directory created with earlier versions of kmail (e.g. from KDE 1.2). So, a user upgrading from KDE 1.2 finds that their kmail just crashes every time they try to run it with no explanation. It would be much nicer if it offered to convert the ~/Mail over to the new format, but at the very least it should give a message explaining what is wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.0.0-4 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See description. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
