Kmail preview pane remains blank

[Ravi]

Hi,
  After updating my F10 system to the latest and the greatest, kmail does not 
show the message body in the preview pane. However, it shows the bar which 
says "No HTML Message". For multipart messages, the message tree view is also 
shown (but with no text). To get the preview pane to show messages normally, 
one could remove the preview pane completely (using the layout option in the 
configuration dialog), and then add it back again.
  Is anyone else seeing this problem? It is 100% reproducible for me on every 
start of kmail. There were no responses on #kontact on IRC.

kdepim-4.2.0-2.fc10.x86_64
kdepimlibs-4.2.0-2.fc10.x86_64
kdelibs-4.2.0-15.fc10.x86_64
kdebase-workspace-4.2.0-10.fc10.x86_64
qt-4.4.3-10.fc10.x86_64

Regards,
Ravi

The culprit here is akonadi. Get the latest version for koji:

Unfortunately, I am already using akonadi 1.1.1-6.fc10.x86_64. So, that does 
not solve my problem. Is there a b.k.o link for this issue? I couldn't find 
one via google.

Shut down Kmail, and move .local/share/akonadi out of the way or rename it. 
Restart Kmail (Akonadi should start up) and you should be OK. There has been a 
fair amount of chat on this last weekend here.

I am still having to do this from time to time (IE every evening when I switch 
on) but sadly no time to debug yet :( I use akonadi with kabc.

I have just updated to 1.1.1-6 so we will see what happens tomorrow evening.

That worked after kmail crashed once. Thank you.

Just to update, since updating to Akonadi 1.1.1-6 all seems to working fine, 
none of the above mentioned problems all week.

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185252 

(I don't know the cause or the fix, but this is what happened to me.)
