Description Felix Seeger 2006-10-02 11:14:22 UTC

Version:           1.9.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17.1

kio-imap often hangs here on my machine. I have kmail configured with pop for internal company mail and imap for my dyndns imap server at home server.

The problem occurs by selecting an imap folder or checking mail. I get the blue "Retrieving Folder Contents" screen which doesn't go away anymore. Even selecting a pop Folder, the screen sometimes doesn't go away, the status bar on the bottom right shows "Checking account: Privat".

The only thing that helps is closing kmail, and killing kio_imap4. Sometimes killing kio_imap4 is enought.

Something I forgot: I am using SSL with CRAM-MD5 Authentication.

Comment 2 Felix Seeger 2006-10-02 12:55:25 UTC

Looking with gdb on kio_imap4 shows the following:

(gdb)

The bt doesn't change if I try to cancle the job over the bottom right status bar, or if I repress the "Check In Mail" button.

Comment 3 paul.leopardi 2006-11-06 13:07:04 UTC

Same or similar problem here. Kmail 1.9.5 from kdepim3 3.5.5-5.1 with KDE 3.5.5 on SUSE 10.1 AMD64. I also run multiple kmail IMAP clients at different locations all talking to the same IMAP server. Each client uses a different version of Kmail.

Comment 4 Simon 2006-11-22 11:00:21 UTC

Same problem here with kmail 1.9.3.
Network trace shows the dialog with the IMAP server continues fine during the mail checking which carries on in the background, but the blue screen never goes away.

Comment 5 Felix Seeger 2007-08-12 07:54:53 UTC

I can reproduce it with the last kmail version from kde3 svn.

Comment 6 Marcus Better 2007-08-19 20:53:51 UTC

Same issue with (non-disconnected) IMAP/TLS connection, using Debian KDE 3.5.7-2.

Comment 7 Patrick Hallen 2008-12-20 20:02:16 UTC

I think this might be a duplication of bug <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132088">132088</a>
