I can confirm this also happens with Gmail.

*** Bug 416956 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I can confirm that happen on outlook.

I reported this.

Just for replication purposes, I can replicate this issue in the recently released 5.13.2 (19.12.2) version of KMail + kmail-account-wizard as well for protonmail

Qt5.14 ?

Arch Linux
Plasma 5.17.5
Framework 5.67.0
Qt 5.14.1
Kmail 5.13.2
Account Assistant 0.2

Bug confirmed.

I have the same problem on outlook

so, that's it? is the end of kmail?

Version:

OS: Manjaro Linux
Kernel: 5.3.18-1-MANJARO (linux53)

Plasma-desktop 5.17.5-2
Plasma-framework 5.66.0-1
Kmail 19.12.2-1

I can confirm that I get it for gmail and outlook/office365 as well.
It looks exactly the same as the screenshot of Snarfel

I'm also hit by this bug.
I've tired couple of times with different email providers, always on fresh user.

I can confirm this also happens with Gmail and yahoo.

Also confirming here this issue continues in the new 19.12.3-1 of kmail and kmail-account-wizard unfortunately for both ProtonMail and Gmail.

Yep it's a bug in qt5.14.

@Laurent Montel: Thanks for updating on root cause. Is this bug in Qt 5.14 filed so that it can be tracked by interested parties in Qt's bug tracking system? If so, can you provide a link to the specific bug report? Thanks again!

The current workaround is add the account manually. It's finally worked for me.

Settings -> Configure the Kmail
In accounts, add an identity, configure your IMAP/POP3/other server in the receiving tab (press "Add" button and choose "Another account") and then configure SMTP on the sending tab.

Even this workaround did not helps.
Have same problem on 

- OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
  kmail 5.13.3 (19.12.2)
  KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.3
  KDE Frameworks Version 5.68.0

- Fedora 31
  kmail 5.11.3
  KDE Plasma Version 5.17.5
  KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0

IMAP-Resource goes in Ready state, but unable to fetch any server info or a server subscription, as well as receive anything from an IMAP server.

Fedora 31:
 Qt Version: 5.17.5

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed:
 Qt Version: 5.14.1

Workaround that's worked for me on Manjaro/EndeavourOS is to setup in Thunderbird, then import into Kmail. There are one or two sections like Contact Book that have no selectable entries, but mashing escape will eventually let you get past those sections and finish the import.

I am having the same issue on my system whilst trying to set up Kmail for the first time.

I used to experience this bug, but I just tried kmail again and it did not occur (using fastmail). Is it resolved?

Volker fixed it.
For me we can close it

This has been fixed in 20.04.0 by https://commits.kde.org/kmail-account-wizard/4b65460dc48b0ebe6ec3bd3f9615d462793bdba6
