[SOLVED] kmail menu missing

#1 Post by tim »

Hi,

I'm running jessie with kde 4.13.1 and kontact/kmail 4.12.4. After an update last night the menu bar in kmail disappeared. (That's the bar at the top of the kmail screen, with file, settings, etc.) All the other components of Kontact--calendar, feeds, contacts, etc.--still have the menu at the top. Has this happened to anyone else? I've searched the web but haven't found any solutions.

Thanks,

Tim

And empty is his skull.
Pity no longer, arm-in-arm with Dread,
Walks that polished hall.

Joy, too, is fled.

Finally solved this problem. I had to edit ~/.kde/share/config/kontactrc
It turns out there's a section in that file called [MainWindowkontact_kmailplugin] In that section I found "MenuBar=Disabled" I changed it to "MenuBar=Enabled" (without the quotes) and now my menu bar is back in kmail within Kontact. I hope this helps other people with the same problem.
