Description Médéric Boquien 2011-07-13 07:04:31 UTC

Version:           2.1.1
OS:                Linux

I use IDLE IMAP to check my mails on several IMAP accounts. I have noticed that after a few hours i stop getting emails on some accounts (not always the same). Restarting kmail fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Star kmail, wait a few hours.

Actual Results:  
Sometimes i stop receiving IMAP emails after a few hours.

Expected Results:  
I keep receiving emails no matter how long kmail has been running.

i can confirm this with latest git ( server side suscriptions enabled  and check every X minutes disabled)

Comment 2 hello 2013-03-30 22:26:13 UTC

also with kde 4.10.1 the imap idle functionality vanished after a few days.

Comment 3 hello 2013-03-30 22:34:15 UTC

enable and disable "periodically check" made it work again.

Comment 4 hello 2013-04-01 19:31:46 UTC

but after resuming from suspend i need to check mails manually once, to get those i received in between and to get imap idle working again.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
