Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1-r3) OS: Linux On an up to date gentoo installation, if the app-crypt/mit-krb5 ebuild is installed, kmail becomes unable to use SSL enabled IMAP or SMTP, and fails with an error of "The process for the imaps://mail.server protocol died unexpectedly." or "The process for the smtps://mail.server protocol died unexpectedly." After trying to reinstall kdepim, kdelibs, and kdebase, the solution turned out to be simply uninstalling the kerberos package. While this workaround exists, it is unsatisfactory, as my setup requires a kerberized ssh client. The problem reappeared upon reinstallation of kerberos. How to reproduce: On an up to date gentoo system, install KDE as well as mit-krb5, or just enable the kerberos use flag.
Is this maybe the same thing as in bug 139944? What were you exactly doing when the error occured?
I don't believe it is the same thing, as I have kwallet already open and accessible to kmail when I launch kmail. Also, if I try to use the imaps kpart (I think that's the right term) from konqueror, I get exactly the same error. And as far as I know, I wasn't doing anything special when it died. I had just updated the system, including SSL, but all other SSL applications still work, including KDE apps like kopete. I tried updating to the newest kdelibs and kdepim, to no avail. Now it is dead regardless of whether I have kerberos installed, so I have no idea what the problem is. Maybe I just have a corrupt file. What file in particular controls this function in kmail? Is there a library, an app, or what? thanks, Kevin On 31 Mar 2007, at 4:44 PM, Thomas McGuire wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]

I am experiencing this same problem on my gentoo system with kerberos. How do find out if it's been resolved by the kio group? I cannot find any mention of kerberos problems anywhere else.
>How do find out if it's been resolved by the kio group? If the bug is fixed, this report will get closed. So far, it is not fixed.
Reassigning the bugs of the SMTP, IMAP and POP ioslaves to kdepim-bugs.
Undo autoconfirm. Sorry.
I am having this exact same issue with my gmail account and Kmail. I also have the same issue when I try to download my INBOX using konqueror and the imaps://imap.gmail.com url. I am using a brand-new installation of Gentoo Linux, with KDE 3.5.8 built from source. I do _not_ have mit-krb5 installed.
Take a look at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111259 - I think this may actually be the same problem.
As bug 111259 this may be fixed in recent kmail. Can anybody confirm this bug still exists in KDE 4.3+?
It has not happened for me with 4.3+ kmail.
