The auto bug report generator has assigned this to kdebase-workspace. But I apparently don't have this installed? What has happened?

I'm not sure what caused this crash to happen but I've been having a lot of instability since an update a few days ago.

It looks like plasma-widget-mail is causing the crash. Maybe it needs some fixes for Qt 4.5.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Confirming due to duplicate.

That's quite old; report with newer active version if needed

>> That's quite old;

That's quite an understatement :) This bug has been open for 6 years. I repeat. 6 years. Do I even care any more? No. I stopped using KDE years ago, precisely due to the fact it takes 6 years for anything to get resolved.
