    As I'd suspected, you've managed to somehow get into a situation where
    your libraries and not all of compatible versions or are not compatible
    with the application (KMail) which is using them. This is pretty odd
    and definitely not normal.

    What version of KMail did you install or to which version did you
    update? From what on-line source did that update originate?

    As a single reference point, I'm running KMail 1.7.2 under KDE 3.3.2
    Level "a" and the symbol mentioned in the diagnostic you quote is also
    absent from my .../libmailprivate.so.0. My libmailprivate does
    reference a close variant of that symbol:

                    v
    mine: _ZN11KMainWindow7setIconERK7QPixmap
    yours: _ZN11KMailWindow7setIconERK7QPixmap
                    ^

    It looks like a minor renaming occurred.

    I'd suggest uninstalling KMail and re-installing it. I'd hope that would
    repopulate all the pertinent libraries and fix this problem.

    This part isn't relevant since you followed Carl's other suggestion and
    ran KMail from the command line.
