First off, I realize this is not the KMail list. However, I'm hoping someone else has had a similar problem and can tell me how to fix it.... the problem is that I've got one account that aggregates all my email into one account. I then connect via IMAP and move spam to the appropriate folder and download the rest. That's where the problem is .. I can download small amounts of email via IMAP, but when I try to do more than a few dozen (>approx 100 messages) KMail crashes. I can download the email just fine with POP, but what's the point of IMAP if I can't download the email to my local folders with IMAP? Any ideas? I know there WAS a bug with IMAP in KMail, but it's supposedly fixed. Thanks John
