Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 3.4.6 OS: Linux When kmail is getting mail from a local mailbox, and either the check mail button is pressed or the mail check interval starts a new mail check, then subsequently no more mail is downloaded from the local mailbox. The problem is caused by both accountmanager.cpp and kmacctlocal.cpp checking if a mail check is in progress and it gets into the state where accountmanager thinks there is a mail check in progress, but kmacctlocal thinks there is not. The following backtrace shows the point where it goes wrong. In frame 8, processNextCheck calls setCheckingMail(true) for the account. In frame 7, processNewMail sets mProcessingNewMail to true. During the mail fetch, interval checking kicks in, but singleCheckMail finds a mail check in progress, so queues the mail check and returns. In frame 5, checkDone is called after the mail has been fetched. checkDone calls setCheckingMail(false) (but mProcessingNewMail is still true). While still in checkDone, processNextCheck is called for the earlier queued check. In frame 1, processNextCheck calls setCheckingMail(true), and then calls processNewMail. In frame 0, processNewMail finds that mProcessingNewMail is still true and returns immediately. As checkDone is not called in this instance, setCheckingMail(false) is not called. Eventually control returns to processNewMail in frame 7, which then sets mProcessingNewMail to false. At this point accountmanager still thinks a mail check is in progress, so no more mail is ever fetched. #0 KMAcctLocal::processNewMail (this=0x823b778) at kmacctlocal.cpp:80 #1 0xb7d1de05 in KMail::AccountManager::processNextCheck (this=0x8225050, _newMail=true) at accountmanager.cpp:196 #2 0xb7d1edeb in KMail::AccountManager::qt_invoke (this=0x8225050, _id=7, _o=0xbfe526f0) at accountmanager.moc:185 #3 0xb6071b2c in QObject::activate_signal () from /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 #4 0xb7ca7766 in KMAccount::finishedCheck (this=0x823b778, t0=true, t1=KMAccount::CheckOK) at kmaccount.moc:218 #5 0xb7ca8f6f in KMAccount::checkDone (this=0x823b778, newmail=true, status=11270) at kmaccount.cpp:452 #6 0xb7d26785 in KMAcctLocal::postProcess (this=0x823b778) at kmacctlocal.cpp:282 #7 0xb7d26bf8 in KMAcctLocal::processNewMail (this=0x823b778) at kmacctlocal.cpp:109 #8 0xb7d1de05 in KMail::AccountManager::processNextCheck (this=0x8225050, _newMail=false) at accountmanager.cpp:196 #9 0xb7d1df7f in KMail::AccountManager::singleCheckMail (this=0x8225050, account=0x823b778, interactive=true) at accountmanager.cpp:125 #10 0xb7d1e122 in KMail::AccountManager::checkMail (this=0x8225050, _interactive=true) at accountmanager.cpp:312 #11 0xb7e3e9b4 in KMMainWidget::slotCheckMail (this=0x826b390) at kmmainwidget.cpp:801 Two possible fixes for this problem. 1. call checkDone if returning from processNewMail due to mProcessingNewMail being true 2. Remove all mProcessingNewMail stuff from kmacctlocal.cpp and rely on accountmanager to serialise mail checking
Created attachment 17012 [details] patch to remove mProcessingNewMail This patch removes the mProcessingNewMail stuff from kmacctlocal.cpp and kmacctlocal.h
