Description Dieter 2007-04-29 23:10:58 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I added one GMX account for incoming mail and four accounts from the same mail server. If i add a fifth account from the same mail server KMail can't connect and says "Server disconnected connection immediately". Its my own server on a root server from the german provider Strato. It is set up correctly. If i remove one of the first four accounts, the error message does not appear and all is working. So it is a bug within KMail.

KMail usually checks all accounts at the same time. It seems the mail server on your server doesn't allow more than 4 simultaneous connections from the same client (did you check the logs of your server?) and therefore immediately closes the connection.

To fix the problem open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc with a text editor (while KMail/Kontact is not running!) and add the following two lines immediately before the line '[Notification Messages]':
[Network]
MaxConnectionsPerHost=4

This will restrict the number of simultaneous connections to your mail server to 4.

Please close this bug as WORKSFORME if this fixes your problem.
