+kdepim (4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-4) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ * KMail's handling of IMAP namespaces changed in KDE 3.5. You used to be
+ able to set a prefix for your mailboxes (most commonly INBOX. for
+ courier-imap and cyrus-imapd servers) that would tell KMail where to look
+ for mail folders. In KDE 3.5, KMail now handles both personal and shared
+ namespaces. It no longer strips the namespace from the beginning of the
+ folder path, though, so some users will see that all of their folders are
+ now subfolders of the inbox.
+
+ Due to this change, KMail may get confused when it starts after upgrading
+ and crash. We don't have a solution to the bug at this time, but there is
+ a workaround that doesn't result in any dataloss.
+
+ The folder $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/ holds cached copies of all
+ the mail headers in your imap account. Deleting everything in this folder
+ (rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap/*) allows KMail to startup. KMail
+ will need to redownload all the mail headers, but it would need to do so
+ anyway since it thinks the mail folders appearing under the inbox are
+ different folders.
+
+ In some cases even this workaround has not been enough. If KMail still
+ behaves strangely for you after doing this, you may need to move KMail's
+ configuration file out of the way in addition to removing its IMAP cache.
+ To do this, "mv ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc
+ ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.bak". After doing this, KMail should behave
+ better, but you will need to reconfigure all of your accounts.
