Description m.wege 2011-12-29 10:37:17 UTC

Version:           1.0.0 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes Kmail hangs and it works to restart Akonadi via "akonadictl restart". There may be different reasons for this which need extra bug reports. But this wish is about how Akonadi handles this. I wish that Akonadi could detect that it is stuck and restart itself and then may even generate a debug output which could be sent to bug.kde.org. I believe this could make Kmail at least appear to be more stable while it isn't and through the debug output help to find reasons why it hangs.

Reproducible: Always

Still valid in 4.8.1

If Akonadi gets really really stuck, then it cannot really restart itself :)

I think this refers more to the problem of Akonadi sessions in KMail getting stuck, I think this has been fixed in the meantime.
