Version: 1.13.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) OS: Linux I've a local user mode linux image to play with an IMAP server. If I give KMail the hostname "n22_uml" of this host (already defined in /etc/hosts and I'm running dnsmasq) then KMail isn't able to connect it (and there's no traffic seen with wireshark of the tap0 interface). As soon as I specify the ip address however - KMail accesses my IMAP account immediately. For the record : tfoerste@n22 ~ $ host n22_uml n22_uml has address 192.168.1.50 Host n22_uml not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) tfoerste@n22 ~ $ dig -x 192.168.1.50 ; <<>> DiG 9.4.3-P5 <<>> -x 192.168.1.50 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 41637 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;50.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

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.
