Version: 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405) (using KDE 3.5.7, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.7-1ubuntu15) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-13-generic I have an imap account configured with SSL encryption. This is working fine until my imap server is stopped each night (for backup purposes) then restarted. Kmail issues the message that the imap account has been disconnected. But then I am unable to read the inbox folder again. When I try to open it kmail displays that it is receiving the content of the folder and be patient. Indicator of progress at the bottom right shows: account check : 100% and that's all. I can change to another folder on the imap server and the content is shown. There is always an instance of the inbox folder checking that is hung and prevent it from beeing shown.
Created attachment 21782 [details] showing the hung process at bottom right
the only way to recover is restarting kontact
humm seems a duplicate of #76872 still occuring in KMail Version 1.9.6 (enterprise 0.20070907.709405)
Bug #76872 is fixed so this is probably too. Please report if not.
