I am becoming convinced that there is some kind of software race
condition involved, since when the problem happens the mail involved
either disappears or is not deleatable other than going into .kmail
and removing them and the indexes manually.

Its been a frustrating day ! ;-)

It sounds a really bad one. I think you really have to get onto a SuSE
mailing list, to see whether anyone else is having problems like this. I
haven't seen anyone else on this or the other lists that I subscribe to, so
maybe it really is a SuSE problem. Keep us up to date?

If I remember correctly, SUSE has some patches for KDE3 for something
called "Network status", i.e. have applications react to changes in
the "online" state of a system, e.g. to avoid repeated failure warnings if a
server couldn't be reached.

It is probably not detecting the offline->online change correctly.

I agree with Anne that it is probably best to try asking on a SUSE support
channel.

Cheers,
Kevin
