kmail crashes in MessageListView::StorageModel::msgBase() searching an invalid folder

[jfjellstad]

Binary package hint: kmail

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Kmail: 4:4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid2 (from backports)

Running kmail against a local imap.

Created a search folder, searched, then changed the criteria for search for the search folder. Every time I went into that particular search folder, Kontact (kmail) would crash. No other folders (search or otherwise) had problems. Was unable to delete the search folder, since just selecting it would crash kontact.

Fixed it by going into ~/.kde/share/apps/search and deleting everything to do with that search folder (unfortunately, I didn't back up the folder itself for submission).

Version: 4.1.96 (using Devel)

I had a crash with 4.2.RC1 when switching from mail to calendar.

Do you use Aggregate mode "Activity by Date, Flat"? Just to know if it is
related to bug 186940.

[Rodney-baker (rodney-baker)]

I use "Standard Mailing List" for mailing list folders (where my crash reported on bug 182159 occured) and "Flat Date View" otherwise.

[Rodney-baker (rodney-baker)]

Incidentally, I'm confused. How is this bug related to 182159 (a bug I submitted that was then marked as a duplicate of this one)? 182159 occurred when deleting a non-contiguous block of messages from an IMAP folder. I didn't even have Kontact running at the time - just KMail...

Closing in favor of KDE bug report, please refer there for updates. Thanks.

Thank you for your report. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained and the code has changed sufficiently in Kmail2 so the backtraces are not really useful anymore. Should you experience the same crash in Kmail 4.8.5 or later, please open a new report for Kmail2. Thank you for your understanding
