Just wanted to report that the problem is exactly the same under kde 4.5.5:

(I might be talking to myself here, but I'm just continuing to report progress in the hope for it to be useful for others) To try to further debug the problem I hooked valgrind up on the imap ioslave to see if I could spot any memory leaks and suddenly the problem disappears!!! The speed of getting email is painfully slow, but kmail is suddenly usable again... To me this indicates that there is a race condition in the imap ioslave. My office desktop sits more or less on the same gigabit LAN as the imap server so the speed of the communication is very high. This might also explain why everything works fine from my laptop that I use to read email from my home network which has a much higher latency that the office LAN. Hmm, running valgrind continuously on the ioslave seems to be a bit overkill. Should maybe write a wrapper that adds a millisecond or two to the network latency... The bug seems to be gone now. I'm currently running kmail 1.13.7 and can fetch my mail without the imap ioslave crashing any more. Some update since my last report and now seems to have magically solved my problems. |
Version: 1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.4) OS: Linux the imap_ioslave sometimes crashes or just ignore mails in my inbox hosted on a courier imap server. I was able to capture the following backtrace by attaching gdb to the imap ioslave, see the additional comments section. o I'm able to reproduce the same error on a clean user account so I do not think it is a personal config issue. o Evolution works fine against the same server so I do not think it is a server side issue either. o Kmail works fine from my laptop, the only difference is that it runs 32bit Fedora, while this problem is on my desktop that runs 64bit Fedora (a clue?). Please let me know if I can provide any further info. (I've been using kmail for many years, but is forced over to evolution until this is fixed, arrgghhh, it is so cumbersome) Best regards, Roy. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Connect to an imap server and load a folder. Actual Results: A message box appears telling me that the imap ioslave had terminated. Sometimes the ioslave crash, other times it ignores mail and sometimes mails are listen with(No subject), Unknown sender and Unknown date. Expected Results: Should get new mail.
