Hi all,

About a week ago my sent mail folder corrupted itself crashing every time=20
kontact/kmail (4.4.9/1.13.5) was launched. The first thing that came to my =
mind=20
at that time was to rename the folder named "cur" under=20
~/kde4/share/apps/kmail/mail/sent-mail to cur-corrupt then create a new fol=
der=20
with the name cur. This seemed to effectively generate an empty sent mail=20
folder which allowed kontact/kmail to launch and function normally. Today I=
=20
had an opportunity to examine the folder cur-corrupt and found a file with =
0=20
byte size that was generated on the date of the initial event. I deleted th=
at=20
file, renamed cur to cur-intact and cur-corrupt to cur and happily saw that=
=20
kontac/kmail would launch normally with my >2-year archive of sent mails. O=
f=20
course the emails I sent within the week after the corruption event were no=
w=20
under the cur-intact folder, and I though all I needed to do to merge them =
to=20
my sent mail folder was to copy them under the folder cur. There are 6 file=
s=20
there (*:2.S) and just copying them did not seem to work. Neither does=20
restarting the akonadi server nor loging out and back in to kde. Does anybo=
dy=20
know how to get this done?

Thanks in advance for the pointers.

Hakan Duran
