Hello all,
I've had the problem of kmail locking up every once in a while for years, but it's happened 3 times in the last 3 days. And it's not just a case of closing it and reopening it: there are sub-processes which, if killed, make it so that kmail won't work until the next reboot.
So what happens ? It checks for mail on my pop3 accounts and it never finishes. I can keep using it in the meanwhile but no new messages come in.
Unless someone can explain how to restart kmail properly, I have to reboot the system, which I am loathe to do (it's a server for a lot of things).
