For me it crashes maybe once or twice a week which could be under those circumstances - but then most of my folder handling is done on the server using procmail. While the indexing can be screwed up by such a crash, I haven't lost any mail by it. However, the current version in FC6 (I say that because I don't know whether it's kmail or FC's package of it that has the problem) has one but that I could guarantee would make it crash. If you try to move a hundred messages at a time it will crash - and that includes deleting them. I now select around 50 at a time if I have to do a mass reorganisation. I'm not sure what you have in mind when you talk about your several accounts. I presume that you collect all your accounts from the server at the same frequency? Or maybe you don't and that's causing the problem. I'm just questioning that because I do collect all accounts every 5 minutes and haven't seen your problem. The odds on hitting the conflict you describe would be so much less in that situation. Anne
