Try to quit KMail and restart, does that help?

The problem is after a change is made to the list of folders (liking 
inserting a new one) the search dialog gets confused, it should really 
indicate failure rather than just do nothing.

Try applying the attached patch, after doing so you should be able to fix the 
problem by simply closing and reopening the search dialog rather than having 
to quite and restart kmail (Which at least is an improvement).

BFN,
Don.
