Yes, I've noticed similar behavior, except that the list-cache issue is more likely to give me empty messages than wrong messages. Strangely, it's a much bigger problem on one of my machines than on the other, despite them running the same version of Kubuntu (though different kernels). I eventually got tired of nuking the IMAP cache on the one machine, and now use KMail only on the other one. :-/ Konqueror's crashes seem to be most often due to memory overload or (more rarely) javascript oddities. It doesn't leak memory as badly as Firefox does, but it does leak memory worse than I'd like.

I keep scripting off by default and finally have plenty of memory (8 gigs, 64-bit environment). The problem then is that konqueror severely lacks sufficient scripting control, similar to noscript on iceweasel. I can turn scripting on for a particular site and often, scripted features I want still won't work, because the script is loaded off a different site. With iceweasel, it's simply a matter of checking noscript to see what additional sites the page is trying to load scripts from and enabling the ones one wishes (view the scripts first using the jsview extention if desired) either temporarily or permanently. With konqueror, I'd have to either view source and check manually for scripts loaded from other sites, then load konqueror's scripting config and manually type in and enable all the desired sites individually (and permanently until deleted, no temporarily enable option available), or give up and enable scripting globally, including for sites like google analytics (urchin tracker) that I'd normally ban. That's the big reason I still keep iceweasel around. If konqueror were to get decent with its scripting control, using extensions or built-in, I'd likely be able to give up iceweasel entirely. It's possible there'd still be some compatibility issues, but where I've dared to, many of those magically disappear if I enable scripting globally in konqueror. Duncan
