Version: kmail 1.9.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Compiler: 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) OS: Linux Hello Developers, It's impossible to fetch mails from a few of my popservers - important: my account at gmx. Sometimes it works, for example after a 'shutdown' of KDE via ctrl-alt-backspace. The Server says »Servermeldung: "[IN-USE] /var/mail/.username.pop lock busy! Is another session active? (11)"«. I am sure, that my configuration is OK, I didn't change it, they work for a long time without errors. I fetch my mail not automaticly. The problem appeared after the last complete update of kde this weekend from a install-source for opensuse-rpms (10.2). kmail runs standalone. I can reproduce the errors by a next try to fetch my mails. Shutdown and start again KDE seems to repair the problems for one session of fetching mails. Not all popservers are affected. I cannot repeat this effect for every run to fetch mails. Helga Fischer
Created attachment 21537 [details] crashreport for kmail until fetching mails Hello Developers, Unfortunatly there are no rules for missing success fetching the mails. Killing all kio_pops has no effect. Fetching mails from an arcor.de-Account is successful for every time. For eschkitai.de (hosteurope.de) and gmx.de there does it not work. Exceptionally the first one after the system was rebootet. The problem is discussed in the opensuse-de-mailinglist. Other users have no problems with fetching their mail from a gmx-account. Helga
I forgot: If it can help - I'm able to get the logs of two mailserver, from which kmail cannot fetch the mails. hfischer

I guess all the following bugs are related, and are recently introduced in the enterprise and 3.5 branch: bug 149413 bug 149477 bug 149492 bug 149493 bug 149500
Since the last update (the second on thuesday, 09.03.) kmail now works fine. Thank You for the quick update, Helga Fischer
