Description meyerm 2011-06-15 10:44:27 UTC 
Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

After (painfully) migrating from KDEPIM 4.4 to KDEPIM 4.6.0 one of the problems is akonadi going nuts when the computer looses the network connection. As soon as my UMTS or whatever connection breaks away, Akonadi starts to inform me for literally minutes (not exagerated) with an uncountable number of knotify-dialogs with the message "NAME OF IMAP-RESOURCE: There is currently no session to the IMAP server available.".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kontact
2. break network connection
3. despair

Actual Results:  
Uncountable popups with error sound as described (which not only make a lot of noise but also manage to bring my computer to its knees ;-) ).

Expected Results:  
Perhaps a single message that the connection was lost and nothing more.

Same here.

Suspended my notebook (possibly during akonadi IMAP sync) with s2ram and then woke it up with no network connection available. After 10-15 seconds I got spammed with 100s notify messages. Only "akonadictl stop" got me rid of them.

KDE 4.6.4
KDEPIM 4.6.0 / KMail 2.1.0
Comment 2 Ctibor Brančík 2011-08-18 19:52:43 UTC 
Still present in 4.7.0 and akonadi-server 1.6.0

Looks like another symptom of 258479.
