Description Andrey Brozhko 2006-07-18 08:50:28 UTC 
Version:           1.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.3-4.1, Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux))
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5

I have one POP3/SMTO account setup in my kmail. When I leave it running for a long time, i.e. 24 hours or so it stops collecting mail from the POP3 server. The new mail is not collected automatically (I configured it to check the server every 1 minute), and it does not happen when I choose to check mail manually. I am almost certain that it says "Checking account .... " in the status bar constantly when kmail is in this broken "mode" and never goes to "Transmition for account ... complete", but I am not 100 percent sure.

It certainly not a server problem as thunderbird works like a charm . And if I close kmail and then launch it again next time it checks the account it downloads the new messages no problem.

Does killing all of the kio_pop3 processes help?

Some related bugs are bug 124185 and bug 79448.

Sorry, could not answer your question earlier.

Yes, killing the kio_pop3 helps. It seems to start the new kio_pop3 process which gets the mail from the server.
