           Summary: Crash on broken Mail dir sym-link
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail@kde.org
        ReportedBy: m.a.ellis@ncl.ac.uk


Version:           3.1.0 (using KDE KDE 3.0.99)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:          Linux

On my system, Mail is a sym-link to a directory elsewhere (actually within a Samba \
mount on another machine).

KMail will crash unhelpfully on startup when said mount is not actually mounted, and \
hence sym-link is broken.

Expected behaviour (for me) would be to inform user that mail dir is inaccessible, \
rather than try to create a new Mail dir in the empty mount point.

Yeah, pedantic, sorry.  It's a stupid set up, and isn't _that_ big a deal :o)
