It varies. I've had occurrences where it lasted for 15mins, but recent
ones have been too short to register. I've had cases where an ls or cd
into the affected directory showed nothing out of the ordinary, which
leads me to believe that the error was just there long enough to cause
the kmail crash, and then disappeared.

Ok, I'll do that when I get an error which lasts long enough.

I have absolutely no idea how to do that :-)
