					Last night, I suddenly could not start KMail anymore.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Konsole revealed this:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					```fish
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					daniel@seppel9 ~ (main) [1]> kmail
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					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
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					rm .local/share/kmail2/autosave/*
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					```
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Don't know what caused this problem and why KMail chokes on
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					autosave files, but at least I can now start it again.
