Description Roland Kaeser 2005-07-28 08:35:58 UTC

Version:           1.8.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

When KMAIL is connected to a IMAP Server and configured to automaticly check the mail most of the times when mail check is processed the KMail sends a error message that the imap server isn't reachable or connection lost. This happens all the time. Sometimes only a restart of Kontact (KMail) solves the problem. The Thunderbird client with the same settings on the same machine does not report this problem. And its definitly not a mail server problem because all other clients work even on the same client machine. This bug makes it nearly impossible to use Kontact for the daily business.

Client Operating System is Fedora 4.

At first you should upgrade to 3.4.1. If I remember correctly there was a
bug fixed in this area.
If you still encounter the problem please compile the imap4 kioslave
(kdepim/kioslaves/imap4) with debug information and get the debug output
(should be in your .xsession-errors or whereever) when the connection is
lost.

Thanks,

Carsten
