Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6
Severity: normal


Create a new (local) folder, with a name like "foo/bar" and the whole
thing dies and crashes! Obviously it's a silly thing to want to do if
you consider the technical things, but from an end user's POV, it should
cope, or at least not die!
