Kontact crashes, burns, & implodes

[Wafa Hakim]

Not sure if this is a major bug & I should report it as such, so I 
thought I'd see if anyone else had the same issue.

I'm running KDE 3.5.1 on Breezy on a notebook (Toshiba Satellite A45) & 
a desktop (Dell Dimension), & I had the identical problem on both 
machines, so read on:

On Saturday, I upgraded my Koffice, with the new libraries & the new 
version of Krita. Suddenly after that, all the emails in the IMAP 
account I was using Kmail/Kontact to check began to replicate themselves 
10, 20, 30 times. I'd delete them & another 20, 30 instances would show 
up. It was starting to fill up my mailbox & was out of control. I went 
through some suggestions with the helpdesk on campus, but finally began 
using Thunderbird & the problem has gone away. In the meantime, Kontact 
started to crash every time I attempted to start it -- it has become 
completely unusable. I have to manually kill the process from a command 
prompt.

Thunderbird + Mozilla Calendar rock, but I still miss Kontact, which I 
loved. Has anyone else seen the problem, & do we report it as a bug?

Thanks,
Wafa.
