Description Andreas Cord-Landwehr 2011-09-26 08:06:21 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

I am using the 4.7 GIT branch:

My email account received a mail with attachment of size about 6MB. The message is displayed as "new" in KMails message list. If I click at the mail, only the blue "Retrieving Folder Contents; please wait..." screen is shown. Instantly I get at console (where I monotoring Akonadi) the following message:
----------
processing retrieval request for item 369074  parts: ("RFC822")  of resource: "akonadi_imap_resource_0"                                                                                                                                            
continuing   
----------

Several seconds later, the next message at console is:

----------
request for item 369074 "48930" failed: "Unable to retrieve item from resource: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."                                                                                                                                                                                                   
ItemRetrieverException :  Unable to retrieve item from resource: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
----------

I tried waiting for a long time but nothing happened. As I am working at the same intranet at which the mailserver is located the download-time should be rather short for the appendix.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
As described above.


Expected Results:  
I would expect that at first only the message contents should be downloaded and displayed. And that then the appendix should be downloaded.

Comment 1 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:19:48 UTC
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.
Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:44:51 UTC
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.
