kmail wants to use .kde4.0

I tried starting kmail on my job computer, for det first time after upgrading kde to 4.2.4


$ kmail -v
Qt: 4.5.1
KDE: 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4)
KMail: 1.11.4




And then kmail exits!

The correct path should be .kde4. I could of course symlink, but that is the cowardly way out.

Reemerging kmail didn't work.

Update:
This is a strange one indeed. A test on my two other computers revealed no similar problems. I've posted a question on the gentoo forums.

Update:
This was embarrassing. There was some old settings in the .kde4 folder the messed up. I search for this everywhere but the most obvious place.


~/.kde4 $ grep -R kde4\.0 .
./share/config/kmailrc:folders[$e]=$HOME/.kde4.0/share/apps/kmail/mail
