Description Thomas Grauschopf 2011-12-09 20:52:18 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Today, lots of packages were listed for update. Among them, several PIM-related ones.

Folder list and mail-list are shown as usual, but when clicking on a mail, the "Fetching Folder Contents" page is displayed and doesn't go away.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
After reboot, it seemed to work normal for a few minutes but now it's again only displaying that darn "Fetching Folder Contents" page.

Actual Results:  
Shows only "Fetching Folder Contents" page.

Expected Results:  
Should display mail content.

Just to confirm, you see this with an online IMAP account, right?

Comment 2 Thomas Grauschopf 2011-12-10 17:07:49 UTC

Nope, i have POP3-Accounts only. Meanwhile, i again ran into the situation after deleting a single spam mail from inbox.

To be honest, i will not be able to reproduce the error because I downgraded to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS with KMail 1. Could not bear the frustration with the Akonadi-based PIM any longer.

So it's ok for me to set the report to invalid or whatever. Maybe other users also experience this kind of situation, then the report might be set to valid again.

there have been several reports about this, all considered "unconfirmed", while this problems has existed for a long a time already. it's a combination of problems too, looks like it's first akonadi losing an imap connection/session and failing to recover, and kmail being so stupid it'll keep hanging forever.

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 5 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:09:47 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.
