Hi,

Today for me too, Kmail2 crashed as described above. The crash happened after 
I had removed some email messages. Kmail2 got really lost. Header info and 
message bodies were mixed up, sometimes kmail2 hung up or crashed. So I think 
the problem - as Kevin already said - is not in the destroy methode (c.q. 
qDeleteAll), but is somewhere in the manipulating (creation/removing) methodes 
of the qList.

Hope this test case (removing mail) can help.
