Version:           KMail 1.12.1/KDE 4.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-1)
 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

While connected to the network (before moving the laptop), KMail works fine. After I moved my laptop to a new location, connected it, and try to syncronize with my mailbox (disconnected IMAP), KMail crashed.

Currently I have KMail set to not automatically check for new mail, and so iirc this crash only happens if no timeout occured between my last check in the old location and the first check in the new locaiton (timeouts happens regularly for me, even if I do not change the network). The internet in the new location is working of course (tested e.g. with Konqueror). I can reproduce it by just using wired networks, no wireless involved.

It seems, that KMail is assuming it is still on the old network, and directly tries to access the IMAP folders. After a timeout or after startup, a sync process always starts with 'connecting to mailbox'. I do not see this in the crash case.

I hope the captured backtrace (at the end of the report) is helpful for someone, but I can always try to get a better one, if I get some hints.

The expected behavior is that locally stored mail is syncronized with the IMAP mailbox without crash.
