Version: 1.13.5 OS: Linux If some imap stuff is interrupted because of a reconnect it still hangs and will never finish even on a reconnect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. retrieve stuff via imap 2. disconnect internet 3. reconnect internet Actual Results: The imap protocoll hangs and does not do anything useful anymore. In order to get a working kmail back you have to do the following: 1. close kontact 2. killall kontact 3. restart kontact If you miss step 2 imap retrieving in kmail/kontact still hangs I encountered this bug on all kmail versions and all computers I tried so far. This includes kmail in KDE 4.3, 4.4 and the new akonadie based 4.6 (4.5 was never released). This bug is especially annoying if use a laptop + wlan: 1. start kmail 2. do sth in kmail 3. sleep you laptop (this causes the disconnect) 4. awake your laptop (this causes the reconnect) -> kmail's imap stuff doesn't do anything useful anymore.
fixed in akonadi based kmail
