Version: 1.9.6(enterprise 20070904,708012) (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux Kmail has stopped downloading email from Gmail. I configured Kmail to use pop3 following the instructions given here(http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287) and things were fine for the last few months. Over the last two days, it has stopped downloading email. I get a message in the status bar saying 'X new messages', but none of the messages are in the Inbox. Downloading of messages using other clients (Evolution & Thunderbird) does not give me any problem. Sending email via SMTP is fine. This is my first bug report, so please excuse me if I have missed anything. Thanks

Check these things: - Do you have enough space left and the correct permissions to store the mail? - Are you using filters? If so, try disabling them. - At last, try setting up KMail with a test user (so that KMail uses a new config) and check if it works with the test user.
Hi Thomas, I had bogofilter set-up to catch spam, and that seemed to be the problem. I disabled it, and the problem is solved. Should I now mark this bug as 'resolved'? Thanks very much, Avinash
I guess bogofilter misqualified messages as spam then. >Should I now mark this bug as 'resolved'? I'll do that.
Hello: I'm not a native English speaker so apollogize my writing. I have a similar problem. Kmail does not download any of my emails, even I know I have them in my account (gmail). There is no a conffiguration problem (I have the account in thunderbird and it does work with no problems). I installed kubuntu 7.10 just a few months ago, and kmail has never functioned. It only send emails. I have never created any filter... I tried with my job account but either, (so it is not a gmail problem). I have reinstalled the program twice and the problem persist. I launched from the konsole and kmail opens but with a problem notification in the konsole. I do not if this text is necessary for you, please tell me. Thank you for any help,
> I have a similar problem. Kmail does not download any of my emails, even I know That seems to be a GMail-specific problem. Once you have downloaded a mail from GMail, it is internaly marked as downloaded by GMail, and can never be downloaded again. I have KMail with GMail and it works fine.
Sorry, but I think I couldn't explain my problem. I have configured both gmail and my job accounts in kmail and no of them receive emails. My job account is not a gmail one, it has a private server. In addition I configured gmail in thunderbird and it works with no problem. When I tried kmail I haven't previously configured gmail in any other client (such Thunderbird), so I'm sure that the account had many e-mails ready to be downloaded but kmail did not. Before writing the bug, I tried to make sure that it was a kmail problem, such it seems to be... Thank you,
