Description Al Muckart 2007-05-31 07:06:51 UTC

Version:           1.9.6 (using KDE 3.5.6, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
OS:                FreeBSD  i386  release 6.2-STABLE

This might be a dupe of bug 53000, but I'm not sure since that one is claimed to be resolved.

Using IMAP to talk to a courier IMAP server that is a bit disc constrained right now is causing kmail to load the check mail in a large folder and then hang trying to download the message body of the first unread message, even if the message is only a few k in size. I am seeing this with the 
 I have left the program trying to download the message for a long time (>1/2 hour) with no change in it's behaviour. 

Aborting the message download causes kmail to crash when another message or folder is clicked on.

Kmail has been rebuilt from FreeBSD ports deskutil/kdepim3 with -DWANT_KDE_DEBUG. Backtrace is attached along with the output of "grep kio_imap .xsession-errors"

Thunderbird also takes time to download the message, but not as long as kmail and it doesn't crash if it fails.

Output of grep kio_imap .xession-errors

There are logs from more than one kmail session there, I restarted it after it
crashed.

Your backtrace doesn't help much unfortunately. Could you read http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports and improve the backtrace please? Thanks in advance.

Ok. Just to save me some compile time, do I need to rebuild *all* KDE packages 
or just kdelibs in addition to kdepim?

Thanks.

Comment 6 Bram Schoenmakers 2007-05-31 11:15:24 UTC

Indeed, kdelibs and kdepim ought to be enough.

Comment 7 Tommi Tervo 2007-05-31 12:22:54 UTC

I'd suggest update to KDE to 3.5.7, kmail reserved a lot of crash fixes between 3.5.6 and 3.5.7.

Looking at the changelog it does look like a lot of my IMAP woes may be 
fixed by this. I'll upgrade as soon as 3.5.7 hits ports for FreeBSD 
RELENG_6 and build the whole lot with debug then try and reproduce this.

Thanks.

OK, please reopen if you have a backtrace or if you have upgraded and more information.
