Description Helga Fischer 2007-09-02 21:05:30 UTC 
Version:           kmail 1.9.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) 
OS:                Linux

Hello Developers,

It's impossible to fetch mails from a few of my popservers - important: my account at gmx. Sometimes it works, for example after a 'shutdown' of KDE via ctrl-alt-backspace. The Server says »Servermeldung: "[IN-USE] /var/mail/.username.pop lock busy! Is another session active? (11)"«. I am sure, that my configuration is OK, I didn't change it, they work for a long time without errors.
I fetch my mail not automaticly.
The problem appeared after the last complete update of kde this weekend from a install-source for opensuse-rpms (10.2).
kmail runs standalone.
I can reproduce the errors by a next try to fetch my mails.
Shutdown and start again KDE seems to repair the problems for one session of fetching mails.
Not all popservers are affected. I cannot repeat this effect for every run to fetch mails.

crashreport for kmail until fetching mails

Hello Developers,

Unfortunatly there are no rules for missing success fetching the mails. Killing
all kio_pops has no effect.

Fetching mails from an arcor.de-Account is successful for every time. For
eschkitai.de (hosteurope.de) and gmx.de there does it not work. Exceptionally
the first one after the system was rebootet.

The problem is discussed in the opensuse-de-mailinglist. Other users have no
problems with fetching their mail from a gmx-account.

I forgot: If it can help - I'm able to get the logs of two mailserver, from which kmail cannot fetch the mails.

1. Kmail is running an the error "[IN-USE] Unable to lock maildrop" appears:

ps -ef | grep kmail
harald    4994     1  0 17:26 ?        00:00:02 kmail -caption KMail -icon kmail -miniicon kmail
ps -ef | grep kio_pop3
harald    5009  4246  0 17:26 ?        00:00:00 kio_pop3 [kdeinit] pop3 /home/harald/.kde/
[... a lot mohre kio_pop3 proceses]
lsof -i

2. I terminate kamil

ps -ef | grep kmail

(...same list as above)

killall kmail
lsof -i

after three minuts
ps -ef | grep kio_pop3

Then i restart Kmail an it works again for a while...

Thank You for the quick update,
