kmail somehow fails to fetch imap messages. I enabled downloading at startup, kmail fetched pop3 letters correctly, but even if imap server appears to work it fails to download mails.
PORT    STATE SERVICE  VERSION
143/tcp open  imap     UW imapd 2004.352
993/tcp open  ssl/imap UW imapd 2004.352

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 20.385 seconds

And this bug is supposed to be related (since appear together):
if I try to configure my email-fetch-accounts kmail freezes (as if waiting for a semaphore/lock to free up in a blocking mode), no CPU usage, KMail windows don't refresh.

Comment 1 Imre Péntek 2005-12-25 02:13:37 UTC

Now after a reboot it suceedeed to finish downloading the mails from the same imap server, and now the preferences doesn't freeze. But this wasn't the first occurence of this bug (yesterday (at 2005-12-24) I reformatted, reinstalled my whole system becouse of this bug) so I assume it to be reproducible.

This bug is reproducible. Anyways, I was able to produce it using imap and offline-imap. If I delete my messages from pine/webmail/previous version of kmail it works again.

Comment 3 Imre Péntek 2006-02-05 12:02:46 UTC

Still stands for Kmail 1.9.1 kde 3.5.1 at least offline imap. when I delete my mails from the remote server using wemail, and reboot, it works again.

Comment 4 Imre Péntek 2006-07-28 05:33:21 UTC

Still present in 1.9.3 kde 3.5.3.

Comment 5 Imre Péntek 2006-10-01 14:23:56 UTC

The same deadlock is present with pop3s kmail 1.9.3 kde 3.5.3

Comment 6 Björn Ruberg 2009-12-24 15:51:48 UTC

What is with kmail in kde 4.3? The 3.5 line is unmaintained
