Ah, probably goes without saying, but KMail seems really twitchy during start
up when rebuilding (or loading?) its indexes. Basically check top to see if
it's finished. On my system it'll suck up a full CPU for 5 to 20 minutes and
is almost guaranteed to crash if I try to do anything in KMail until it's
finished.

greets, folks . . .
is there a reliable, nondestructive way to force kmail to reindex a mail
subdirectory?
thanks.
Yes, just delete the index files *.index *.index.ids *.index.sorted. When
you restart kmail, it'll rebuild the indices. If you want to be on the save
side, create a copy of your mail folder and then delete the indices ...
