Last night, I suddenly could not start KMail anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Konsole revealed this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```fish
|
2024-09-17 05:42:00 +00:00
|
|
|
$ kmail
|
2024-09-17 05:09:17 +00:00
|
|
|
org.kde.pim.kmail: setFcc: collection invalid ""
|
|
|
|
|
We have an error during reading password "Entry not found"
|
|
|
|
|
*** KMail got signal 11 (Exiting)
|
|
|
|
|
*** Dead letters dumped.
|
|
|
|
|
KCrash: Application 'kmail' crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
|
|
|
|
|
fish: Job 1, 'kmail' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)
|
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily, I quickly [found a fix][1]:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```fish
|
2024-09-17 05:42:00 +00:00
|
|
|
rm ~/.local/share/kmail2/autosave/*
|
2024-09-17 05:09:17 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know what caused this problem and why KMail chokes on
|
|
|
|
|
autosave files, but at least I can now start it again.
