Dr Klepp asked which system:
This is the same old asus box, in the house that ran wheezy for years,
but now has an uptodate stretch amd64 install. At least I think its
uptodate, they've made it almost impossible to run synaptic now,
I ran, late yesterday about 3 full cycles of memtest, no errors.
The main problems withkmail seem to be related to index files getting
out of whack and I have restored it by stopping kmail, deleting the
index files for the folder thats crashing, and restarting kmail --sync.
Leave it alone for an hour or so and it will rebuild the index files
again. But its in trouble again if I delete or move a file to the spam
folder.
And running it from a shell, to get that debugging output, when did
kmail become dependent on N-M, as pasted from tht shell:
ene@coyote:~$ kmail --sync

[kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'kmail' crashing...
Thats one session of kmail, lasted maybe 10 seconds before I clicked on
something and crashed it again.
As you can see, its fussing about the coco list folder, which is the
parent of around 17 subfolders named ack the year of each ones messages.
Starting year is 2002, goes on to 2018 with the parent folder now
containing the 2019 messages. If kmail survives the year, those will
get moved to a 2019 folder. If it survives, its being a pita and I am
just now learning how to use both t-bird and imap.
Do you have any ideas? I'm all ears. Thanks Nik.
Hi Gene,
I have no clue to your problems, all I can say is:
- you seem to have more than one problem on your system
- I've never has trouble with kmail and, when there is a problem with my
indexes, deleting them cures it everytime.
Between Wheezy and Stretch Debian introduced systemd. I already don't trust
upgrading from one version to another, upgrading from wheezy to stretch does
not seem a good idea to me. So my guess is that the upgrade messed things up.
This
was not an upgrade, its a 100% fresh install on a new drive. The
email corpus was copied over, from the old drive to this one, and it ran
roughly trouble free for about a month.
I'm running stretch (fresh install + migration),
with sysvinit (although I did
not completely remove systemd) and kmail 1.9.10 from TDE R14.0.6 [Devlopment]
with no problem.
