kmail foibles

Greetings all; I have been harassed by bad index files notices, but I may have found the cause. I just went thru every folder in its Mail corpus finding several dozen leftover claws files, either in the root of each folder, in the cur or tmp subdirs, nuked them all and restarted kmail, which then bitched about every folder I had cleaned up. I closed the advisory and fully expected to see kmail hogging the cpu up to 100% for an hour or more as it had done in the past, but it was done reindexing everything in just a long minute! All of the claws crap carried dates in 2013 to 2014, which would be about the time frame I did have it installed. So if your kmail is acting likes its infected with flooby dust, see what happens if you do a bit of housecleaning in your ~/Mail subdir. I think it was getting confused over encountering strange file names. Time will tell the truth of this tail of course. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
