(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 2.2.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

I have Interval Mail Checking enabled and set to 5 minutes.  I also sometimes click on the "Check Mail" button (I don't know if that's relevant).  I leave my computer on throughout the day to fetch mail and when I get home I find it's gotten some mail but not very much and when I hit the "Check Mail in" button it says "Transmission completed".  If I then close and reopen KMail and press the "Check Mail in" button it retrieves 50-60 messages or so.  Basically at some point getting mail just seems to stop working until I reinitialise the application.

Thanx.

This is fixed in KDE 2.2.1.

Yes, on some point getting mail seems to stop working. I am checking one pop3 and one local account.

Well this seems to be fixed a long time ago but actually I am experiencing this behavior right now in the kmail version that comes with kde 3.2.3! Even klicking the check mail button does not work any more, when that happens. I have an interval of one minute selected in my config.

I suggest reopening the bug and checking if somehow the same bug made it into the code again.
