interesting one: I just had this on KDE 3.4 (!!!). Using the 3.4.1 level "a" (Kontact \
1.1.1) rpms from suse for 9.2 at work, and I had the problem. The use case this time \
was different. Again it happened during the check for new mail, but this time there \
wasn't actually any new mail to report. And I wasn't browsing mail, but instead hit \
'send' on a reply. Perhaps the cause is not so much incoming mail, but instead the \
change of status bits (read/unread, or in this case 'replied') while the check for \
new mail is going on? The IMAP connection goes all the way from work to home, so it \
has been slower and had more latency than when I'm at home. This might be important, \
                since we're quite likely talking about an obscure race condition \
                here.
