Description Robert Smits 2007-10-12 07:13:10 UTC

Version:           Kmail 1.9.6, enterprise 20070904.708012 with KDE 3.5.7 release 72 from OpenSuse 10.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When reading email, and an attempt is made to change folders, sometimes KMail freezes.The highlight changes in the 
navigation column, but the messages don't reflect that column. If I then select another folder, I can return to the one I clicked on previously, and this time it will work normally. (When this occurs, the highlighted folder changes, but the messages in the display don't.)

Also occurring in Gentoo (amd64 Linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r8) with Kmail 1.9.7, exactly as described by Robert Smits.

Also in Mandriva Spring, with kmail 1.9.7.

Comment 3 Robert Smits 2007-12-13 21:13:56 UTC

It appears to be occurring in a variety of distros...any word on when this will be looked at?

Comment 4 Kevin Coonan 2008-01-28 20:55:10 UTC

Also OpenSUSE 10.2 w/ KDE 3.5.8.  Now loosing mail (reappears on restart) and so slow to respond as to be useless.  This is a "work stoppage" or "switch to Thunderbird or Claws" level of a problem.

Comment 5 Robert Smits 2008-03-01 05:41:12 UTC

This was first reported on October 2007. Is it being looked at?

Comment 6 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-07 11:49:43 UTC

Tested several times on 1.9.10. Everytime message list and preview is refreshed. Works fine.
