Version: 1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, PLD Linux Distribution) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (PLD Linux) OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.16.60-6smp kmail, and all other kde applications that access the IMAP KDE Resource hung at some point. noticed that first time i try to access email from imap. only way to get kopete for example to startup is killall kmail and kontact this didn't happen to me with kde 3.5.8, but with upgrade to 3.5.9 sometimes can't even startup kmail, have to kill until none of kmail,kontact is running and then try again: shell1$ kmail ERROR: Communication problem with kmail, it probably crashed. shell2$ $ killall -v kmail kontact Killed kmail(15661) with signal 15 Killed kontact(15739) with signal 15 Killed kontact(15740) with signal 15 Killed kmail(15863) with signal 15 Killed kmail(15864) with signal 15 however disabling use of all IMAP based resources (which is DIMAP btw) makes the hungs go away.
Might be the same as or related to bug 89345.
Created attachment 23771 [details] three backtraces here's backtrace when it hung, i hit ctrl+c and ran bt
my setup does't eat the cpu, it just stops responding (application isn't even painted). my regular kmail startup involves: $ kmail // i access something that involves access from KDE Resource (say open email and it lookups email address from addressbook) $ killall -v kmail $ killall -v kmail // i enter wallet password // kontact appears up (i din't start it!!), but luckily from it i can read mail as it has kmail_part inside. 21:29:44 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD 21:29:46 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD glen 6196 Tue Apr 8 21:29:49 2008 ? 90692 32292 Sl kmail -caption KMail -icon kmail -miniicon kmail glen 6223 Tue Apr 8 21:32:59 2008 ? 34436 13036 S kontact --iconify glen 6224 Tue Apr 8 21:32:59 2008 ? 44748 19432 S kontact --iconify 21:33:11 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ killall -v kmail Killed kmail(6196) with signal 15 21:33:13 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD glen 6196 Tue Apr 8 21:29:49 2008 ? 90692 33128 Sl kmail -caption KMail -icon kmail -miniicon kmail glen 6223 Tue Apr 8 21:32:59 2008 ? 34436 13036 S kontact --iconify glen 6224 Tue Apr 8 21:32:59 2008 ? 44748 19432 S kontact --iconify 21:33:18 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ killall -v kmail Killed kmail(6196) with signal 15 21:33:21 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD glen 6224 Tue Apr 8 21:32:59 2008 ? 54632 26812 R kontact --iconify glen 6257 Tue Apr 8 21:33:21 2008 ? 42000 16732 S kmail glen 6258 Tue Apr 8 21:33:21 2008 ? 42000 16732 S kmail glen 6259 Tue Apr 8 21:33:22 2008 ? 0 0 Z [kmail] <defunct> glen 6260 Tue Apr 8 21:33:22 2008 ? 0 0 Z [kmail] <defunct> 21:33:23 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD glen 6224 Tue Apr 8 21:32:58 2008 ? 93780 35184 Sl kontact --iconify glen 6257 Tue Apr 8 21:33:20 2008 ? 42000 16732 S kmail glen 6260 Tue Apr 8 21:33:21 2008 ? 0 0 Z [kmail] <defunct> 21:33:57 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$ lsp kmail,kontact USER PID STARTED TT VSZ RSS STAT CMD glen 6224 Tue Apr 8 21:32:58 2008 ? 95900 38008 Sl kontact --iconify 21:34:00 glen[pts/5]@ravenous /media/data$
Didn't had any problems here using kmail 1.11.90 from trunk. Last activity on this report was now nearly a year ago. Do you still suffer this problem with a more recent version? Like from KDE 4.2.x or so..
there's no crash now, if i start kmail, it keeps starting itself even if i do quit from kmail File->Quit menu. The loop can be broken if i start kontact, not kmail, which is what i do nowadays. so the bug is still there, but little lighter.
@Comment #5 looks like a duplicate of bug 189824.
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
