Unfortunately I have to comment that this still happens with akonadi-based kmail2 : have an IMAP account (In my case GMail) configured with "Enable disconnected mode" checked. Start PC without any network connectivity. Start Kmail. Try to view the Inbox folder. Watch the spinner spin, and nothing else happens. Interesting fact : if I have labels set in my account (server side), the folders they create are accessible even in offline mode, no trouble there. Only the main Inbox folder of the IMAP ressource is causing trouble.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
