Just to confirm that the servers and my settings are OK, I did a test with an old KDE installation from my system: export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde-352 export PATH=$KDEDIRS/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIRS/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH kmail Everything works fine (but I'm not sure which kio_pop3 is used at this stage). And even more test: copied over the kio_pop3 from the working KDE to the current one (and did a kdeinit & kbuildsycoca). Did not help, so it seems the problem is in kmail, not in kio_pop3. I guess all the following bugs are related, and are recently introduced in the enterprise and 3.5 branch: bug 149413 bug 149477 bug 149492 bug 149493 bug 149500 I can confirm that bug for the SuSE Factory 10.3 (upcoming Beta3). With the update to the following packages - kdelibs3-3.5.7-56 - kdebase3-3.5.7-66 the problem was introduced on my system, too. I switched on fetching mails on startup. On trying to fetch mails manually I get a messagebox: Could not login to _server_. The password may be wrong. The Server said: "Mailbox '_username_' is busy". Within a few minutes I got 55 processes kio_pop3, which grows further. This slows down system extremeley and makes it unusable. New mails are only fetched after startup, after that POP3 fetching is locked up. Furthermore, Kontact with KMail crashes now quite regularly and makes other weird things like marking existing messages with a valid subject in the message list panel temporarily as 'No subject', says something about a locked archive by a second instance on shutdown and similar things. |
