+  * 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 ~/.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.
