bequimao.de Same problem with Kmail 5.2.3 - whose Help/Version shows:
. KDE Frameworks 5.24
. Qt 5.6.1
. xcb windowing system
in July 22 64-bit clasical ISO Plasma login.
(Real h/w on nVidia GTS250 non-EFI non-GTP Desktop)
Kmail will not restart after initial Start/Exit.
However, on *32-bit* Mga6-RC on real non=EFI non=GPT h/w Samsung NC110 netbook - Plasma login - Kmail 5.2.3 *will* re-start after initial start/exit... I have never seen this issue since kontact/kmail started working. I doubt that it depends on any hardware or 32/64 bit. Do you use IMAP accounts? Do you see anything when you enter as user # journalctl -b | grep akonadi You may test KMail with a newly created user, which should work now. Best regards, Ulrich > Do you use IMAP accounts?

The only issue, I had to exclude an empty panel. I think it was resolved with the pam update. See bug 17504 Comment #57. Ulrich >> You may test KMail with a newly created user, > Not possible to use newly-created user at the moment, due to system problem > with e.g. /etc.shadow.lock (Bug 16733) Having overcome the latter problem, the 2nd user can now restart KMail after initial Start/Quit. However, the first user still cannot do that. I am appending an strace of the attempt. Created attachment 8329 [details]

mageia No such problem with latest Kmail (5.4.3) - though it is displaying another problem (instability), on which I am keeping an eye (hoping subsequent updates will iron that out). thank you for the feedback => closing Status:

Have seen similar reports, linked with use of nVidia 'nouveau' driver instead of proprietary driver.
Will check that out with a new install of Mageia-6-rc tomorrow (assuming can acquire proprietary driver this time...)
