Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux Akonadi keeps the IMAP connections alive (akonadi_imap_resource) when closing kmail. This is a problem as it block downloading in POP from some email servers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Take 2 computers. Computer #1 checks emails with IMAP. Computer #2 checks emails with POP. Start kmail on computer #1, check mail, quit kmail. Start kmail on computer #2 and check mail. Actual Results: Checking mails on computer #2 fails with the following message: Unable to login to the server pop.laposte.net. Could not login to pop.laposte.net. The password may be wrong. The server said: "[IN-USE] Unable to open maildrop" Expected Results: Akonadi takes the email connection down on computer #1 to allow computer #2 to download emails.
kmail settings / accounts / did you select the retrieval options and checked "switch offline on kmail shutdown" ?
I guess not. Shouldn't this option be activated by default though? Intuitively if no mail client is on i would not expect my mails to be checked?
