Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Sometimes when I try to send a mail with Kontact the application just hangs after entering the KWallet password. The mail compose window is dimmed a bit as if a dialog window has been opened, but there is none - I just double checked by moving every window on every virtual desktop out of the way. Its currently still hanging and I made an strace -ff -p 12179 -o Zeit/kontact-strace-2009-08-21.txt I attach the strace results in a moment. My current workaround is to kill Kontact and hope that KMail will remember the mail I was about to send. Upto now this has worked, but it is extremely annoying cause the issue does happen quite often - but not everytime. I have no idea on how to provide further debug information. If you have one, please tell me. shambhala:~> apt-show-versions | egrep "(kmail|kdepim|kdelibs)" kdelibs/squeeze uptodate 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 kdelibs-bin/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdelibs-data/squeeze uptodate 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 kdelibs-dbg/squeeze uptodate 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 kdelibs4c2a/squeeze uptodate 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-2 kdelibs5/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdelibs5-data/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdelibs5-dbg/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdelibs5-dev/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-dbg/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-groupware/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-kresources/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-runtime/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-runtime-dbg/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-strigi-plugins/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepim-wizards/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepimlibs-data/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepimlibs-dbg/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepimlibs5/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kdepimlibs5-dev/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 kmail/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1 libkdepim4/sid uptodate 4:4.3.0-1
Created attachment 36336 [details] strace of the first thread of kontact
Created attachment 36337 [details] strace of the second thread of kontact it just select()'s and appears to wait on something. Kontact uses up to 4-6 % of CPU on my IBM ThinkPad T42 with Pentium M 1.8 GHz CPU.
I'm having the same problem; I think it started one month ago and it's really annoying since every second E-Mail gets stuck. If needed I can provide a strace or other debug info too.

Do you still have this with updated kmail versions now?
No, I didn't experience kmail/kontact hanging after/whie sending an email any more.
May have been a bug in early 4.3? Closing for the moment, just reopen in case the problem returns
